You know you're all still stuck in the "they're different because if they weren't it'd ruin my argument" groove, and I'm still waiting to hear some reasonable reasons why they're different. Why, for instance, it's reasonable to pay $20K or so extra for a car in order to get such intangibles as "superior fit & finish" (which I've never really noticed, BTW), or for extras like heated & air conditioned seats, which are options I might pay more not to have. Or for pointless things like a GPS. In the plane, sure, especially if I were doing occasional IFR, but in a car? Why, fer gawdsakes?

You don't seem to balk at paying extra for all these other options, or ask what their payback periods are going to be, so why should a hybrid be any different?
