Kanetix.ca has released the top 10 most popular hybrids quoted for 2008, as determined by auto insurance quotes sought on the site.
The top 10-quoted hybrids for the first six months of 2008 are:
Toyota Prius
Honda Civic Hybrid
Toyota Camry Hybrid
Ford Escape Hybrid
Toyota Highlander Hybrid
Lexus RX400h
Honda Accord Hybrid
Nissan Altima Hybrid
Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid
Saturn Vue Green Line Hybrid
With the rising cost of gas prices, the hybrid market seems to be steadily rising as well, according to a kanetix.ca release.
“In the first six months of 2008, hybrid auto insurance quotes on our site have already reached 74% of 2007’s total,” George Small, co-founder of kanetix.ca, explains in the release. “If the trend continues, 2008’s total hybrid quote activity should not only match 2007 but actually exceed it by almost 50%.”
Hybrids are marketed as an environmentally friendly way to save you gas money, Gregory Ellis, co-founder of kanetix.ca notes in the release. “Of course, when it comes to money-saving potential there are other considerations, too like the cost of insurance.”
