Not a hybrid to be found on Edmunds list, and they actually list a % value.
 
Top 10 Cars with Highest Residual Value - No Hybrids
 
Edmunds Top 10 Cars with Best Residual Values and there is not a hybrid or a Toyota on the list (well, there is a Lexus).

That is exactly right. If the hybrids cannot sell on their advantages, so be it. Toyota crying about the tax breaks is really funny. Now they have to sell on merit not government incentives.

They're doing fine. With one month to go in the CY the results will be just in line with last year, regards the Prius and HCH ( see Nov sales YTD ) and of course the TCH is all additional volume.
 
Now however in the next two years there's going to be an awful lot of new entries in the field from Nissan to Ford to GM to Honda to Hyundai. If by 'hybrid' you mean 'Toyota Hybrids' then Press' crying as you say is just a way to keep the playing field level now that everyone has a clean vehicle option.
 
Toyota and Honda were first and pushed the technology envelope now the rest are coming around to see the merits - or have just been able to master the technology.

Hybrids,Flex Fule Vehicles Not Likely To Impact Energy Use
 
quote- Many of the U.S. auto industry's environmental efforts, including plug-in hybrids and flexible-fuel vehicles, will have little affect on the nation's energy use or output of greenhouse gases if the latest government forecast of energy trends through 2030 holds true.-end

quote larsb - sales are not down-end quote
 
Question for you larsb- Are you telling us that 26,249 sales compared to 18,117 is NOT a decrease?
 
quote San Francisco Chronicle-Car makers sold 26,249 hybrids in August, the same month the average price of gasoline nationwide hit $3 per gallon. Since then, gasoline prices have fallen 24 percent, to $2.28 per gallon, and hybrids sales have dropped 31 percent to 18,117 in November, according to Edmunds.com.
