they keep showing us hybrid cars that get 40 - 50 miles per gallon, but they're almost all compact cars.
my dad drives a 1991 geo that gets 49 miles per gallon. why would i get a hybrid that gets the same but no mechanic could work on around here. why can't they offer a 4 wheel drive or a full-sized suv that gets 50mpg?

Maybe you're NOT looking hard enough
Lexus RX300h is NOT small
Honda Accord Hybrid WAS not small
Saturn Vue Greenline is not that small
Ford Escape Hybrid is not that small either
Lexus have more hybrid luxury vehicles coming soon.

That's a good question.
I had a 1990 Honda CRX HF that got over 52 on the highway, and it's a 4 cyl. It had a little get up to it, too. Ran about the same speed as a regular civic.
I think manufacturers are slacking on the innovation of things. Compact cars, non-hybrid, were getting what compact hybrids of today are getting...17 years later.
They need to get with it.
