I am so over hybrids now at this point. Sure, they get better fuel mileage, but they still run on gas. They're just a ticking time bomb that is more complicated to work on.

And with cars being used for longer these days, I don't see the point "oh, after 10 years when the battery decides to selfdestruct you'll have a newer car." Oh yeah, well tell that to my 10 year old Avalon hybrid with the battery on it's last leg and no car like it within the USA at a price that I can afford.

At least a plug-in hybrid allows you to use electricity to drive around for a limited distance if you so desire.
