With seven different hybrid cars on the market, Vincentric looked at these vehicles as a separate segment to see which car would earn Vincentric’s Best Hybrid Value in America award.  The result?  The Chevrolet Malibu ended up #1, knocking last year’s hybrid winner, the Honda Civic Hybrid, out of the top spot.
