Waiting for a hybrid minivan
I'm expecting our 3rd child and now need to move up to a larger car. With 3 kids in car seats, my compact sedan just isn't going to cut it anymore. [:'(] Well I could probably squeeze them all in, but that wouldn't be pleasant for anyone, especially me. (Mom, he's touching me...MOM, Dylan hit me.... MOOOOOM, Grace took my toy....etc., etc., etc.) I'm looking forward to the US release of a hybrid minivan, hopefully in 2008. I was planning on buying a hybrid as my next car, but now that I need more space I'll have to wait for the minivan to be released here.
It looks like Toyota will be the first car maker to release a minivan, likely the Sienna model, but they have not said when. HybridCars.com anticipates the release to be in 2008. Read their article here: http://www.hybridcars.com/suvs-minivans/toyota-sienna-hybrid.html
The website also offers a host of information on hybrid cars and even ways to save on your gas mileage, whether you are driving a hybrid or not. Check them out at: http://www.hybridcars.com
