We're starting to get 300hp, 40 MPG, AWD CUVs (RAV4 Prime) due to competition, but trucks still lag behind. They should have been the first to get hybrid powertrains, but instead were dead last.

Although I can't say I'd buy one of each, it's a shame only certain vehicles get certain treatments. Hybrid trucks and vans would have been awesome, for that need them at least. What about hybrid station wagons and minivans?
It also kind of makes sense to focus fuel savings on the vehicles that are the most thirsty. If you take all 30mpg compact and make them twice as fuel efficient you're not saving as much fuel than if you made all 15mpg trucks twice as fuel efficient.
