Hybrids are still niche vehicles, but at their current rate of growth, they could dominate the roads in another five or 10 years.
U.S. hybrid sales jumped more than 34 percent to a total of 338,851 in 2007, according to CNW Marketing Research in Bandon, Ore. The only other vehicle segment that grew faster than hybrids in 2007 was what CNW calls “budget cars.” Sales of these small, inexpensive models, which include the Chevrolet Aveo, Honda Fit, and Toyota Yaris, grew at an astonishing rate of nearly 48 percent.

CNW Marketing claiming 338,851 hybrids were sold in 2007 looks a little on the high side. I wonder if it includes the used hybrids?
