Detroit's first hybrid focus is and will be on SUVs and trucks because these are their high profit-margin products, the sales of which have plummeted. These gas-guzzling vehicles, once the darlings of the auto-bying consumer, are now shunned in the wake of high gas prices. Oddly enough, it is the Japanese who are meeting the needs of consumers who need a thrifty, everyday commuter (hybrid) car. A long-time Chrysler owner, I called a local dealer and emailed Chrysler.com last July, asking where the Chrysler hybrids were. The answer, after a long silence, was the Dodge Ram truck and S-class Mercedes. I then asked what about cars 'for the rest of us'? Again, a long silence, but this time no answer followed. Detroit has failed us, and they will need several years to 'catch-up'. I found my hybrid in another State, not having found one in my Home State, buying it just before gas (and hybrid) price skyrocketed. Hybrids now cost an average of 40% more than before the current gas crisis. DETROIT ARE YOU LISTENING?
