A couple of years ago, Gary and I were discussing whether or not hybrids would "survive" and I was saying how many upcoming hybrids there were. He was somewhat doubtful. Here is the current list: * Ford Escape 2WD Hybrid Model Year 2008 * Mercury Mariner 2WD Hybrid Model Year 2008 * Ford Escape 4WD Hybrid Model Year 2008 * Mercury Mariner 4WD Hybrid Model year 2008 * Chevrolet Silverado 2WD Hybrid Pickup Truck * Chevrolet Silverado 4WD Hybrid Pickup Truck * Ford Escape Hybrid 2WD * Ford Escape Hybrid 4WD * GMC Sierra 2WD Hybrid Pickup Truck * GMC Sierra 4WD Hybrid Pickup Truck * Honda Accord Hybrid AT * Honda Civic Hybrid CVT * Lexus GS 450h * Lexus RX 400h 2WD and 4WD * Nissan Altima Hybrid * Saturn Aura Hybrid * Saturn Vue Green Line * Toyota Camry Hybrid * Toyota Prius * Toyota Highlander Hybrid 2WD and 4WD That's 14 vehicles. Seems like a success so far. 2007 will be a record year again since gas prices at skyrocketing again. |

Hybrid sales for May-2007 have touched 44,274 without counting Nissan and GM. Its an all time record and roughly 3 % + share of overall US auto market. Prius 24,009 Camry-H 6,853 Highlander-H 3,312 RX400h 1,746 GS450h 181 Toyota Total 36,101 Civic-H 4,520 Accord-H 439 Honda Total 4,959 Escape 2,680 Mariner 534 Ford Total 3,214 Grand Total 44,274 Also the Crossovers continue to climb and SUV's continue to fall. 7 years ago, Crossovers had similar share of what Hybrids have today and now they outsell Truck based SUV's So in another 7 years, will the Hybrids capture 12 % share of American market ?.

Million with an M JAPAN: Cumulative Toyota hybrid sales reach a million units 7 June 2007 | Source: just-auto.com editorial team Toyota has announced that global cumulative sales of Toyota hybrid vehicles have topped the 1 million mark, with approximately 1,047,000 units sold worldwide as of May 31, 2007. Toyota launched the Prius — the world's first mass-produced hybrid vehicle — in Japan in 1997 and began selling it in North America, Europe and elsewhere in 2000. The second-generation Prius, equipped with the Toyota Hybrid System II, was introduced in 2003 with an emphasis on delivering both environmental performance and power. Over time, Toyota has expanded the use of its hybrid system to minivans, SUVs, rear-wheel-drive sedans and other vehicles. Toyota began overseas production of hybrid vehicles in Changchun, China in 2005 and in Kentucky in the United States in 2006. Toyota says that as of April 30, 2007, worldwide sales of its hybrid vehicles since 1997 have greatly contributed to reductions in CO2 emissions, which are considered a cause of global warming, by producing approximately 3.5 million fewer tons of CO2 compared with the same class gasoline-powered vehicles of similar size and driving performance. Toyota says it aims to double its hybrid lineup and achieve annual sales of one million units in the early part of the 2010s. |

This is why people buy hybrids: http://www.elementownersclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35956 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid 70/30 hwy/city miles 65 mph highway speed 100% a/c use (Texas) 36 psi tires In other words, this is a real world number, not the result of over-inflated tires, wimpy top speed or a sweaty driver saving a few mpg by turning off the a/c. The more people see how efficient these cars are, the more people buy them.
