There have been shots of hybrids in movies and TV shows quite a bit more lately.

I also remember a scene in the "Smallville" Television program where a character rescues the hero saying "jump into my Yaris!"

My favorite is watching science fiction movies that take place in the near future. They will often have the latest and greatest car that just came out appear as an old rusty clunker. They did that when the new Beetles came out in an Arnold Swarzenegger movie (The Seventh Day?)
