The price is too much, When gas was at 4dollars the price of the hybrid went so high that it would take longer to pay for the car then you could wear it out! Gas is not a big deal, they waste , it cost as much in oil and is produced, It takes oil to produce and uses fresh water, I don't know about you , but I do not care if we run out of oil, I do care if we run out of water. I think maybe solar panels on cars will help, but I think they need to get behind something that works instead of raping and crushing people to make profits of gas and oil , collecting while they going is good and really causing the economic crunch of the entire world, it is not banks, but irresponsible more oil on corn to produce instead permiting abuse of over charge
