See how well they sell after they nolonger qualify for gov`t incentives. Although, at this rate, they`re good for another 8 years.

Still nothing compared to the Prius` numbers, and that doesn`t include the rest of the hybrids out there.

Mitchel,
Use more diesel. Get a clue.
If your goal is to import more foreign oil so America`s kids can go fight a few more wars, then by all means, buy up them Eurotard diesels.
If you want to break free of Europe`s oil addiction, hybrids are the answer because they work in tandem with any fuel (gas, hydrogen etc).

German cars are for people with low self-esteem to rent.

Indeed the most twisted comment I've read on the internet. US & Jap companies all make guzzling V8 SUVs and trucks, the Germans do not. The only expection being the low volume tourag/Q7 et al.

If you replaced all the Jap/US V8 SUV's and trucks with TDI tourags/Q7's etc America would simply consume almost 1/2 the oil it did the day before. How's that for lowering the US's addiction for oil?

Oh, and by the way, the Diesel hybrids are coming which means they will kick the a$$ off the gas hybrids on the freeways in terms of mpg, and still have boatloads more torque.

What ever twisted way you spin it, diesel engines get better mpg than gas engines. Fact. You have to twin the Hybrid/gas' = diesels, and wait until the diesel hybrids come out. Game over.
