Are Hybrid Vehicles really better for the environment? I keep reading articles that say hybrid vehicles are much better for the environment by using much less gasoline and producing far fewer emmisions. I understand that the vehicles themselves produce far fewer emmisions and get better mileage. What I want to know is how much more pollution are we generating in other ways as a result of using hybrid vehicles. Some hybrids are charged using a standard electrical outlet.

I also heard there is a new Subaru WRX STi now in this category. Has anyone come across a source for this information? I am seeking the information to conduct an inquiry as to the inadmissability of specific vehicles for importation into Canada. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Apparently I need to clarify the question as I am not getting any useful answers. There are a number of vehicles sold in North America that have been available to either Canada or the USA but not necessarily both countries at the same time. I am only interested in finding out what vehicles are currently available for purchase ONLY in the US. For example, the 2004 to 2006 Pontiac GTO. This information is needed for a report that will be submitted to Transport Canada in an effort to have them relax (or change) their restrictions with respect to the importation of certain cars to Canada from the US. The Government should not have the right to restrict consumer options if there is no quantifiable objective reason to keep the vehicle out of the country. Please answer only if you have read and understand the question. Thank you.
