The waiting list for a popular Hybrid is about 6 month to a year. A lot of people would love to see hybrids lined up, but the plants that make them pale in size and output to the regular gasoline powered car plants.
Just look at the huge rebates and incentives companies are doling out on gas guzzling vehicles in order to get them to sell.

the problem is that the battery manufactures are still not really set up for mass mass production. The car manufactures could make enoguh hybrids to do what you suggest, provided they remove the hybrid bit. Hoepfully, in a couple of years when the battery makers can build new factories and such, hybrids will be more available and slighlty cheaper.

It depends on the area. Here in Buffalo, there are a few (2-3) Toyota Camrys and half-a-dozen Ford Escapes on lots that are ready to be bought. We did end up special ordering an Escape, and it will be ready in 6 weeks. I've heard reports that Camrys on the West Coast have a waiting period of several months.

most hybrid models have a demand greater than the available supply. also some hybrid models are sold at a loss. the Honda Insight cost Honda about $36,000 they were being sold at $20,000. they did this to get people interested in the new technology. now that hybrids are becoming popular I have heard that honda will cease production of the insight. they will likely transfer that productive capacity to other more popular hybrids.

Well let me ask you who is producing a hybrid? A company that is committed to gasoline, so they don't want to make another industry that competes with their own products. They will lose money and basically kill there own industry. So the companies want them to look ugly and keep them week.

You have to go to the waiting list to buy one.
