Will hybrid vehicle succeed in the middle east?

[luckytauro]

"General Motors will become the first carmaker to sell ‘eco-friendly' hybrid cars in the Gulf, Arabian Business can reveal. The US manufacturer is to release a two-mode hybrid version of its popular Chevrolet Tahoe SUV - which runs on electricity, gasoline, or a mixture of the two. "

Will politics come into play, of course, but in which direction?
How do the people of Dubai/Persial Gulf feel about hybrids?

If you live or have visited the middle east, or if you are are an expert, please make your comments. This is a serious question and I'm not looking for just any random answer. Thank you

No. They have enough inexpensive gas. The only exception is that they may get environmental conservation conscious.

As long as moisture in the air exists and the sun shines hybrids will evolve to suit all conditions of enviroments.
