The Detroit News reports that sales of certain
hybrids, especially larger ones, aren’t quite what
Toyota,
Ford and
Honda were hoping for. Carlos Ghosn throws around the “I told you so” line to whomever is listening after having warned in the past about the economic sense (or nonsense) of hybrids. Some of the complaints from customers include not saving enough money to make up for the price premium, and lower than advertised
fuel economy. From a technical point of view, small and light-weight electric
hybrid vehicles tend to make more sense, compared to the larger ones, and maybe the market is finding this out for itself.
