What social demographic buys hybrid cars? Age, class, etc...? I've been researching it on the internet for awhile and wanted to see if anyone else knew. Thanks for your help.

I don't think there's any specific target market, unless you count environmentalists.
I own a Prius, and I'm a 26-year-old middle class dude. I've seen hybrid owners of all ages, though certainly poor people can't afford them.

Target Market For Hybrid Cars

No, I think some car companies (at least the smart ones like Toyota) understand that alternative systems like hybrids are the future. For one thing oil is a finite resource, and as we deplete the world's reserves the price will simply continue to rise, and more people will look for alternatives to traditional internal combustion cars. Then there's the fact that global warming and greenhouse gas emissions are becoming a bigger and bigger issue. I'm not sure what you're getting at with your question about blame. I don't think many people blame car companies for pollution, because as you say, they produce what the consumers demand. I think much of the blame goes to inidividuals who demand big SUVs and much goes to the government for not requiring that new cars get better mileage.
