Hannah Montana goes hybrid

Quote:

Celebrity endorsements can go a long way in improving the image of just about everything - like it or not, if an A-list celebrity gives a product the thumbs up then chances are the public will clamor for that product too, to follow in the star’s footsteps.
So it’s encouraging therefore that one of the brightest young celebrities in the world today - and one with a massive influence over her scourge of teen and pre-teen fans - is getting behind the green car push.
Miley Cyrus, also known as Hannah Montana, is approaching driving age and has set her sights on a hybrid vehicle - albeit with a little gentle persuasion from her father, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus.

Re: Hannah Montana goes hybrid

Sad to say but this type of article feeds a misconception echoed in European reviews that hybrids are all hype. They seem to insist that hybrid popularity is just a successful marketing effort and the only practical vehicle is an advanced diesel. But in some respects, this misconception works to our favor.

To the extent that this suppresses hybrid sales in Europe, it means the limited production is available to the USA market. This leads to 'less bad' prices although it is hard to say that right now as hybrids don't sit on the lots very long.
