I have been interested in hybrid cars for awhile now, but found it really hard to figure out what my options were. I would often hear about a new hybrid car, go to the manufacturer's website, and for the life of me couldn't find it! So I gave up... for the time being.

Well, it looks like hybrid cars are on the rise (due to the fabulous success of the Toyota Prius), so I recently started to poke around again. In my research, I found this great resource with up-to-date info on all the available hybrid cars.
