Vancouver realtors may not need to be polluting as Green Cars become more high end. Fuel Efficient and Fast!!!!
The only thing I really don't like about my work as a realtor is that I have to drive a lot-until the public gets over not wanting a running, riding, realtor! I would love a car that is safe, low polluting and had some style. It seems that I am not the only one who wants this as Japanese automakers are hoping that a new line of fuel-efficient muscle cars will breathe new life into their dwindling sales by appealing to western buyer's environmental consciousness, as well as their passion for speed. Having said this, I am not sure that I would be on board for supporting this as there seems to be a big variation in environmental impacts when you compare hybrid SUVs and smaller hybrids-I imagine the same problem will exist here.
At the Tokyo Motor Show Nissan unveiled their flagship muscle car the GT-R, which will retail for around $80,000 US. Toyota unveiled the next generation of its popular Pruis gas-electric hybrid, which will be a plug in model that offers double the mileage of their current model. Honda also previewed a gas-electric hybrid sports car that they're hoping will surprise drivers with its torque, acceleration and handling.
If you're not riding a bike to work everyday, and no one can blame you during Vancouver's rainy winter, a sporty gas-electric hybrid may be a good alternative. Personally, I would like to see that tiny Mercedes sports car come in a hybrid. Given how small it is, hopefully it would be super low emission and fun to drive.....Depending on how they are made, a sporty gas-electric hybrid could be a great way to avoid weekly trips to the gas station...and give realtors like myself less guilty consciences related to our driving!
