they do actually, mining nickel alone is EXTREMELY dirty, in Canada, the US, Japan and Europe, we export our ore directly to other nations because the pollution is so high that its almost impossible to do efficiently here. its not just the mining proces, its also the energy transfer needed to mine, the transportation (often back and forth half way around the world from china and back, refining and finally manufacturing. its not wrong to say its far dirtier to produce a hybrid than a gas car

the idiocy of the hybrid craze could hardly be more dramatic. over here in north america, a standard porsche panamera v8 (non awd) will retail at about 75 000$ the hybrid model will more than topple 100 000. that's a 25 000$ difference! now i'm sorry but 25 000$ is enough to purchase ALL THE FUEL to run this car at 30 000kms a year for 5-6 years. so. what's the point? nevermind the fact that mining the materials for the hybrid alone are more baneful to the environment anyways.

absolutely: According to the -Dust-to-Dust Automotive Energy Report- by CNW Research, the average energy cost per mile for the top ten hybrids is $3. 65. The average for the industry is $2. 95. ) The Prius, Civic, Accord, and Escape hybrids are $2. 87, $3. 40, $3. 42, and $3. 54, respectively. The Chevy volt is very high: $8. 87. We can also look at the the energy cost of just mining lithium. its about 1200 $ per hybrid battery.

Funny, people say they hate this car from Porsche. The truth is, before the Cayenne and this car, I would never consider buying a porsche because it was not practical enough for me, and if I had money to burn I would buy a Ferrari instead if I just wanted to drive myself and another person! These cars gave Porsche new customers that think like I do. I used to hate Porsches, now I love them!

well. if they don, t care about fuel bills. again catch 22: WHY BUY A HYBRID? And again, we can't ignore the hideously dirty and environmentally UNFRIENDLY process of mining lithium, cadmium, bauxite and 100 other toxic components, and then have them shipped for every corner in the globe to make a battery. as I have said. I fail to see the point.

The idiocy is that you didn't recognize that people who buy Panameras don't care about fuel bills. What some of them might care about though, is how much fuel they burn. Some people consider more ethical to drive more fuel efficient cars and that's the selling point of the hybrid.

I don't understand how people find this car ugly! It's the most beautiful car I've ever seen. period. If ever I buy a luxury car it would be either the Panamera which is cheaper, or the Ferrari FF, I just like the practicality of these cars, and I find them extremely beautiful!

What's the relative environmental impact of mining lithium and battery shipping for 1 hybrid car vs the relative benefit of saved fuel? I don't believe that those relative impacts win over the lifetime of the car. Do you?

Nice video but I think the journey should be done in the other direction and repeated 3 times. My V8 Cayenne will almost give me those numbers if i'm only doing a short partly downhill journey to the city for 9 miles.

I don't really care about how much fuel it consumes or how much emission it releases. All I care is this car can easily be driven for 1000 miles without refuel. I don't think any other gasoline car can do it.
