Hi,
I don't drive an HCH so I have no idea if this is news worthy or not:

CORTE MADERA, Calif., Jul. 2, 2007 (KGO) - A Marin County woman loves her new car, except for one major problem. It can't always make it up the steep hill her home sits on. She's now fighting to get her money back.
Jennifer Liebeler owns a 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid. She took us on a ride so we could see her problem for ourself.
Jennifer describes driving her Honda Civic Hybrid up a Corte Madera hillside.
Jennifer Liebeler: "The accelerator's floored. It looks like I'm going to be able to get up, maybe. The accelerator's completely floored. I don't know if you can tell, but it's all the way floored and the car is not driving up the hill."

From what I know about HCH (not very much,) it sounds like one car in particular. In fact, I would have expected the HCH to be relatively immune. If a Prius has a low battery, it really slows down going up a hill.
