When it is about whatever you like everything changes, including the subject.

The OP question is if they make sense, not whether you like them.
If you don't like hybrids, fine. Nobody forces you to buy one.
Do they make sense, hell yes. To me at last.

I saw my Insight struggle when I blew the fuse that controls the IMA battery.
Unlike the Prius the Insight can run without the hybrid system just like an ordinary car.
Well, a rather sluggish and not very economical car.
The relief of getting that fuse back in... It makes such a difference!
I cannot believe there should even be a debate about it.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
