And back on topic...
I imagine if they did it, they'd only brand the "dedicated" hybrids, not the models that have both hybrid & conventional drivetrains. Remember Toyota has stated they'll have a hybrid option on every model by (after?) 2010. (Yaris hybrid, anyone?)
If I had more money than I knew what to do with, I could see myself buying a Toyota hybrid. I still think the Prius is one of the coolest cars I've ever driven for the sheer geek entertainment factor.
I wouldn't say it's the coolest car I've ever driven any more though. That title now goes to the Solectria Force EV I got to take for a spin in May.
