2. It seems the US companies have conceded the hybrid car market to Toyota and Honda.
All the hybrids I have seen from the US are these hybrid monster trucks.

There is a need for these work trucks but I would like to see more hybrid cars from the US.

I have a 1.5 liter, 105 hp car that gets 45 mpg. I use it to pull a trailer with up to 2500 pounds when I need to haul something.

I have no need for 385 hp. But I suppose many Americans will buy these monsters for one-person commuting and trips to the store.
