Electric Cars For Sale

The ongoing economic crisis has hit automakers to the point that some are considering filing for bankruptcy, but that doesn’t mean that we will not see new 2009 electric cars for sale. On the contrary, there is much to look forward to in 2009.

You can expect a number of new gas-electric hybrids in the coming year. Honda is going to reboot its brand Insight, which is a hybrid that was earlier overshadowed by the Toyota Prius. With a price tag of $19,000, the Insight is going to be among the most affordable hybrids. Next is Ford which would be rolling its hybrid sedan, Fusion for $27,270. Early 2009 will also see Toyota launching its next-generation Prius.
The above does not mean that electric car plans of all automakers would be dedicated to low cost models. General Motors for example, would be coming out with a gas-electric version of its Cadillac Escalade that would cost around $72,865 and Mercedes-Benz would be getting into manufacturing hybrids with its gas-electric S-Class that would be priced over $100,000. Volkswagen, Porsche and Aston Martin are coming out with four-door coupe models. The Volkswagen would be priced at $26,790, but the products of Porsche and Aston Martin would have $100,000-plus price tags.
