We are seeing a lot more entries in the Hybrid car market. Ford is even planning on releasing a small hybrid SUV here soon.
The big problem is that nobody has come up with a viable alternative that has any amount of power. Americans love their speed and power, two things you just can't get with hybrid.
Also, for people like me that have toys to tow, there is no alternative at all. I'm paying nearly $2 for a gallon of gas that will get me about 15 miles if I'm lucky. I'm about ready to sell the 96 Bronco and go buy one of the new Nissan Titans, another big gas guzzler.
