I for one have no interest in the hybrid market. Yes they be slightly more efficient for in town driving but my 04 Corolla gets 35-40 highway. That is good mileage and the upside is I don't have to drop $5-6000 5 years down the road on batteries. It is a novel idea but if they can't be produced cheaper then they just don't pencil out. The environmental impact difference is probably(my uneducated opinion) negligable do to the hazardous production of the batteries. There will no doubt be someone here who will argue my points, so educate me with the facts.=)
