Spoilt celebrity and rich heiress Paris Hilton, after singing and playing on Guitar Heroes III at the Sundance Film Festival, celebrates her 27th birthday today by gifting herself a brand new toy.
Yes it's a new car...but not just any toy! It's a HYBRID.
The 2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid....compared to a conventional model, the Yukon Hybrid's V-8 engine is mated to two electric motors inside the transmission, one of which powers the Yukon Hybrid for city driving; the other kicks in for highway cruising. In addition more aerodynamic and lightweight sheetmetal body improves the car's mileage by 25%.
The car is a 4-wheel drive and can carry 9 passengers, less than the smaller Starex!
It costs $52,855, which is a ridiculous amount for super-rich Paris Hilton. She will have to get used to the humming of the electric engine instead of the roar of her previous cars. Though this is not the first time Paris Hilton has tried ot get a Hybrid vehicle for herself. Paris says she's concerned for the environment; but most people believe that the spoilt princess ran out of gas while driving alone...
She felt scared and helpless and swore to replace her Range Rover with a hybrid. Paris even tried to have a green hummer custom made for her driving pleasure. But now at last she has a hybrid and is doing her bit for the environment.
Score one more for the efforts of General Motors in going green.
