As usual for the 'Times -- not even a mention of Hybrids.
The shift is very deep. For the past year, I have been the one expanding the conversation at work to hybrids. Now, my coworkers are bringing up the subject and genuinely want to know my experience with the TCH. Some of these are people that I barely know except at work.
Two have recently bought hybrids, and more are indicating plans to do so.
I think I read somwhere recently that the TCH is now outselling the V6 versions of the Camry -- this in spite of the removal of the tax credit.
... and, as soon as the tax rebate clears, we will be a two-hybrid family. The only question now is do I get the HiHy now or wait a month or two for new developments. After all, new hybrid development announcements are happening fast and frequent now.
(For those that are wondering from the "HiHy vs MMH" post, my wife decided on the HiHy over the MMH becasue she felt the MMH sat a little higher that she liked, and felt it was somewhat sensitive to cross-winds at mid-range to high speeds. We also tow our two ocean kayaks a lot, and liked the higher towing capacity and beefier roof rack of the Toyota.)
