They WERE a marketing tool since they lost thousands on each one...Anyone can make demand by subsidizing a product. Also, Toyota artificially limits production to boost demand...If hyrbids were the pancea of cars then why is Toyota not building every one of their vehicles as a hybrid? Simply put, they do not want to, combined with subsidizing until recently, and you have more demand than supply.

Do you ever notice that Toyota articles suddenly pop up in the news when GM makes a Volt announcement? It looks like GM is now the leader and Toyota the follower...Toyota better sell as many hybrids as they can before the Volt changes the whole equation.
