$90K "green" vehicles that hold five people, a bit of luggage, and with fuel consumption of a F-150 truck - yeah, makes perfect sense.

My non-hybrid Sienna:

1. Will last much longer, will be cheaper in maintenance than these German flops.
2. Consumes 30% less fuel.
3. Can comfortably transport seven people, and a whole bunch of luggage.
4. Costs 1/3 of the Germans.
5. Non-hybrid - no complicated electronics, batteries, etc.

I particularly like the BMW hybrid. There are a number of hybrid SUVs that are out there that I like and am considering purchasing as my next vehicle. They don’t mention Lexus’s Hybrid SUV which is also a big contender in the hybrid SUV market.

If an American carmaker had introduced a vehicle with that kind of price and that kind of mileage, they'd be the laugh of the town and the target of our dumb Congress. The Germans do it and their cars are considered sophisticated green engineering masterpieces. Yes, 'tis a strange world we live in.

Anonymous said “I think they missed the point of hybrid cars”. And what is that exactly? Oh, that’s right, a Prius. I guess Toyota also missed the point with their Lexus hybrids…

ex-EV1 driver said “Folks with the kind of money to buy these pigs should be shamed into buying Tesla Roadsters”. Why? Just because it’s your favorite car doesn’t mean everybody with money should want one, much less be forced or shamed into buying one. If they’re shopping for a roadster, then perhaps, but if they want a BMW or Mercedes, or some other luxury SUV or Crossover, then these two hybrids or the similar clean diesels versions are fine choices. Personally I’d pick the diesel, but then, I can’t afford to shop for any of these brands…

$89,725 with that kind of MPG. What are they thinking? I could buy 2 Lexus RX Hybrid for me and my wife with that money with a lot better MPG. Sorry.

Folks with the kind of money to buy these pigs should be shamed into buying Tesla Roadsters, the most fuel efficient, high performance, and petroleum-free automobiles on the market.
I guess the Germans are finally giving in and realizing they have to compete the Lexus hybrid greenwashing market.
