Funny how he claims a reduced interest in hybrid cars. Toyota just released it's July sales info. Total of 105,808 hybrids already sold this year!

Prius sales up to 11,114 from July of 2005 (9,619), an increase of 19.3%

Camry Hybrid sales increased to 5,023 from 4,268 in June 2006.
Highlander Hybrid sales increased to 2962 from 2705 in June 2006.

Doesn't look like interest is fading to me
