Several in the Toyota line, the Ford Escape and so on....I would like to point out the way a hybrid works, just so your clear on what you are getting. A hybrid is a gas/electric powered vehicle that uses the gasoline engine to move the vehicle upto 35mph, hard acceleration, and with cargo/towing. Keep in mind that the weight of the electrical components and the programing of the computer module that controls the power train, limits cargo/towing capacity greatly. Once you have achieved a moving speed of 35 mph or better (constant speed) the electric motor takes over and thus you save gas. Kinda works like a cruise control. So, if you are in stop and go city traffic the electric motor may not engage much or at all. On the highway, it will engage while cruising, but might switch to the gasoline in a passing situation. End result, it is a great commuter, but there are some drawbacks. Look at the way you drive and where you drive to determine if the added expense is right for you. I would like to point out that there are several new models/model options beside hybrid coming out over the next 2 model years (07-08) that might work better for you.
