I keep hearing that the “people” have been clamoring for Green vehicles, but limited supplies of hybrid Hondas and Toyotas has kept hybrids out of every American garage. I know that this isn’t true as there are hybrids available from GM and Ford, but they are not as popular as the Japanese cars.

I live in the metropolitan Chicago area and I have yet to see an Escalade, Yukon, Tahoe or Vue hybrid. The same is true for the Malibu hybrid. When it comes to Fords, there are the occasional Escapes and Mariners, but I see 3 Camry hybrids for every Ford or Mercury hybrid and the Prius is very common.

The Fusion hybrid is an attractive design and has good fuel economy stats. The same could be said about the Malibu, but will Americans buy domestic made hybrids?

Amongst all of my friends, family and co-workers, there is only one Hybrid owner. Even when gas was over $4 per gallon no one said they were going to get a hybrid. Are hybrids for the mainstream buyer or the Green oriented buyer? The bigger Green questions is do Americans really want hybrids or is the market for Hybrids reaching saturation?
