Hybrids currently are mostly hype...with no significant real world advantages. For Hybrids to be really effective they need to be able to go much faster...like around 45 or 50 mph. That's a good speed, and at around 50, the gas engine gets working faster and is much more efficient. Most people go about 45/50 around town, and that is where the major savings would be. With this in mind, GM needs to make only a few hybrids....I'm saying a limited amount because if they are not profitable, the more they have the more they lose. having only a few would get the good PR, but not all of the losses that a full or half hybrid lineup would incurr. Ford doesn't know what it's getting into with the hybrids...they should be careful..theirs alot of responsibility and cost involved. And the more Toyota has hybrids, while getting better PR, if they still aren't profitable, it will be better for GM because Toyota will be digging it's own grave. But lets not tell Toyota that...
