Hybrid cars are expensive to build up front. The premium for hybrid is higher than that of a diesel and the FE advantage is only
in the city mode. Europe has rejected hybrids because they like diesels, but in the US hybrids have become popular among tree-huggers.
Toyota Prius is about the size of a Corolla and costs the same price as a Camry (and it is said that Toyota is not making any money on it)
