If you’ve heard recently, there was a drop in oil prices around the world, although this may seem good news, it sure isn’t looking as good for fuel-efficient vehicles such as hybrids. The recent oil drop have left American motorists be less concerned about saving the world and buying more fuel-efficient vehicles. Toyota even started to offer incentives and discounts on some electric-hybrid models including the Prius for the first time. Starting this month, Prius buyers in the United States can get 0% financing for two years or lease payments from $219 a month. Other manufacturers have also started to give discounts on its hybrid vehicles including the Honda Accord, the Ford Escape, and the Mercury Mariner Hybrid.
Hyundai’s New Entourage
MotorWeek, a popular automotive publication and television show, has just nominated the Hyundai Entourage as the ‘Best Minivan’ in the 2007 Editor’s Choice Awards. As a result, the Entourage’s cousin, the Kia Sedona, has also won the award. Both Hyundai and Kia vehicles have improved in quality and provides many features. Already winning NTHSA’s Top Safety Pick award, it’s no doubt the Entourage will continue to win many more.
The 25th annual MotorWeek Driver’s Choice Award winners were chosen by evaluations made by 15 judges, which were composed of writers, producers, and the crew members of MotorWeek. Over 150 cars and trucks were tested and judged.
