Saving money is not the reason to buy a hybrid. Same with an H2 or a Corvette.

You buy a Corvette because it's a cool car to drive. Don't know about the Hummer, but I LOVE driving a Corvette. Getting a Corvette for me was like getting a date with the prom queen twenty years after graduation, and finding out she's still eighteen.

You've had a few comments on this, but I just had to add to it.

While, as someone else wrote, "saving money" is core to hybrid marketing, you are so right that price is unrelated to value. Price comes of perception -- what the market will immediately bear. Value is another thing, and that's the problem.
