I drive a white Chevy Blazer 4×4 for practicality not personality. It snows where I live and I often need the 4×4 just to get out of my driveway. The cargo space is great. I get decent gas mileage on highway driving. It has enough power that I can pass a loaded semi truck on a 6% grade. White is a good color for not showing dust and dirt since I don’t have the time or inclination to be washing my vehicle.
Personality…I would drive one of these new Chevy Malibu dark green with tan interior. Good looking car.
My husband has 3 trucks for his business for practicality and for personality. He is a classic car buff so his “fleet” consists of a 68 Chevy Short Bed Stepside, 57 Chevy 1 ton and a 71 GMC long bed. All have been restored with V8 engines and upgraded running gear etc. He says when you can make a hybrid that can pull a John Deere Backhoe up a hill or over dirt roads, THEN he might consider.
The idea that if you don’t drive a hybrid you are some sort of radical who wants to kill the environment is just ridiculous and frankly ostentatiously bigoted. I would drive a hybrid if they weren’t (mostly) butt ugly or so expensive that they just don’t pencil out. The return on investment in a hybrid is longer than the lifespan of the vehicle.
