The Most Popular Hybrid Vehicle? It’s not what you think.
While no one can argue with the fact that the Toyota Prius is currently the #1 selling hybrid vehicle in the world, it’s been fun to watch the shift in consumer interest as it relates to all hybrid vehicles.

Hybrids offer an upgrade in fuel economy and power, and lower emissions over standard gasoline engines. It really would not be a bad thing if a hybrid variation were offered for every car in production today. The negatives of hybrids that still shy many away (weight, snooty image, global warming skepticism etc.) will all start to diminish as more advanced hybrid systems are developed, and more people buy them.

I just can't understand why people are so stuck on SUV's. Especially if the goal is the get the most transportation bang/buck. I looked up the 5-series vs. the X5 and the sedan/wagon (which is also available in AWD), actually has several inches MORE legroom.

Basically the only thing left with the SUV is ground clearance, towing, and looks. I wonder which one of these three is important to buyers?

it is BECAUSE suvs get such lousy mileage, that many people want to know if there are hybrid suvs out there.

a lot of 'em probably would want a prius, but want/need the space an suv provides.
