From small cars to cheap hybrids

--> add or read comments (8)

Decades ago, small cars were the dumbest idea ever, at least to those running US automakers. Honda and Toyota thought differently.

A decade ago, hybrid cars were the dumbest idea ever, at least to those running US automakers. Again, Honda and Toyota thought differently.

Today it seems cheap hybrid vehicles are the dumbest idea ever, as not one US automaker has confirmed plans for a cheap hybrid to compete with a vehicle like the Toyota Prius. And, the upcoming Honda Fit hybrid could take 'cheap hybrids' to a whole new level. Yet, US automakers don't even appear interested in entering this market.

Are US automakers again missing the boat? Will there ever be a cheap American hybrid?
