CNET: What's the problem with hybrid cars?
CNET has recently added a car tech section; the brief hyrbid piece references a CNET survey and includes CNET reader responses to the hybrid article.
Snipped from article:

In a recent, totally unscientific poll of readers who receive our Weekend Hit List newsletter, just 3 percent said they own a hybrid, nearly 47 percent said they'd be interested in getting one, and 50 percent said they have no plans to own one anytime soon. Despite the thousands of news stories about hybrids "gaining in popularity" due to the cost of all our "gas-guzzling behemoths," hybrid cars made up just 80,000 of the 17 million cars sold in the United States last year--less than 1 percent. And while more automakers are jumping on the hybrid bandwagon, the cars are still far from mass acceptance. Why?
