Then go for the internal combustion engine. What's the reason you are comparing with the hybrid then?
Cheers!

I couldn't care two hoots about carbon footprints.

It's all about performance and comfort. At low speeds and about town, hybrids are whisper quiet. It's like riding a magic carpet.
However, there's something about the throaty roar of a petrol engine and a gurgling exhaust that excites the senses.
I have all this money to spend thanks to the PAP and I don't know what to do with it and I'm running out of time to use it.
Go get a sports car. SUV's and sedans don't attract girls.
Leongsam, I drove a Camry Hybrid for 2 years and I have to say I like hybrid for its quietness and fuel saving and also when you need some extra power when both engine and motor kicks in its quite a kick. Moreover Toyota gives 10 years warranty for the battery so its a pretty good deal.

why a SUV when your trusty toyota pickup can do the same job?

Leong,
You naturally should go hybrid because you are one !
Not if I have to put up with a CVT gearbox.

For traveling around NZ. I intend to cover all major towns and cities. It's on my bucket list of "must do" items.
The pickup is great for running around town but for drives longer than 2 to 3 hours, the clatter of the diesel engine, the lack of safety features and the harsh ride all add up to a rather unpleasant experience.
I'm very tempted to get the Porsche Macan for the scintillating performance and handling but I don't want to go through another Beemer experience where the vehicle spent half the time in the workshop clocking up ridiculous repair bills.
porsche is AWD so handling should be better than the lexus front wheel drive. but is the porsche PDK transmission gearbox just another name for VW's DSG gearbox?
