Good article but WAY WRONG (Score 0)

Ok, so we are going to ignore other factors such as enviroment, less wear and tear on brakes and far longer range then most vehicles. Thats ok. They are non tangable values. But RESALE value is quite real and there is tons of data on it. The resale value on hybrids is far better then non hybrids. The article actually says this but does not factor it in. A $2000 difference in trade in at the end is a big deal. It should not be ignored, its enough to tip it the other way. I personally consider hybrid a feature like a nav system or a larger tank. It gives other benifits. I dont need do a page full of math to see if the nav system will save me gas enough to pay for it. Nor do I ask if the stereo will pay for itself. I like the idea of a hybrid system, for the enviroment, for the time savings of not filling up as much and for the huge difference in traffic jam MPG. A Prius uses about 1/5 the petro to cover a slow moving two hour bakcup as any non-hybrid, even a thrifty VW diesel.
