- Hybrids .. Hype or Hope? Canada’s Future Technology?


With the Canadian Government getting pro-active in global warming issues and gasoline more expensive than last year, sales of hybrids may grow faster than expected. Honda is getting a lower priced model ready for sale next year, while the Civic Hybrid is selling very well. Toyota is the "King" of hybrids, with more models and a larger percentage than any other OEM. Ford and GM are in the hybrid business with models in customers' hands. Never has the aftermarket been so slow in picking up a new technology. This has allowed the dealerships to cash in as never before as they have the hybrid customers all to themselves. Come learn about hybrids, the market place and what you should be doing. This class is for technical and non-technical automotive decision makers.
