It's not that we've all decided hybrids suck. It's that a few years ago we were told our favorite vehicle type would be available in hybrid form by now, and sure we would consider it. A few years later, the choice in hybrids hasn't gone up much at all, and none of them seem effective besides the ones that already existed. (ie, the Highlander, RX, and LS hybrids don't seem worth it, though the Camry and Altima are justifiable.)
The number of Prius considerers has probably just gone down because the novelty's worn off and it's an older model already. Dunno about the Escape and Mariner, I don't see many of them but the non-hybrid versions don't seem to get a lot of consideration either.
