In an attempt to pass his economic stimulus package President Obama was recently quoted as saying, "I don’t care if you are driving in a hybrid or an SUV, if you are driving toward a cliff you’ve got to change directions."
It could be construed that his statement was meant to suggest that hybrid owners are Democrats while SUV owners are Republicans.
But do the facts and more importantly demographics bear out this suggestion?
According to Hybridcars.com the typical Prius driver is not your Hollywood hipster 20-something-year-old but instead older than the average car buyer—closer to 50 rather than the average age of 40.
