    I was surprised to see a Chrysler Aspen Hybrid today on I-80. I thought they were cancelled before they made any, but I guess they made a few. Does anybody know how many Chrysler made? Talk about an orphan, I bet not many Chrysler dealers know how to work on them, and hybrid parts for them I bet they'll be in short supply.

    Better buy a lottery ticket. Today's your lucky day!

    Haven't not seen a single one (took me a year to see an Aura Hybrid).

    Never knew it existed! I had to google it to see if it was ever real

    Oh, i see ... another of those, "Look! Now it (almost) gets 20mpg" hybrids. I always cracks me up when authours quote,

    Yes, it's counter intuitive to point out I can get either 19mpg or I can get 50mpg ... it saves the same amount of fuel. Now THAT's the kind of voodoo math that sent GM to the bankruptcy poor farm.

    lucky you (or not.. hehe)

    i've seen just about every other hybrid in this area... er.. between here and hollywood.

    prius I II and III (very common)
    Lexus RX, GS, HS, and LS hybrid (very common)
    mercedes S class hybrid (a few dozen)
    a few cadillac hybrids

    a dozen tesla's or so...

    a few dozen of fusion hybrids... not so many escape hybrids...

    (what else is there again?....)

    I've never seen one.

    They made a few but it didn't live a very long life.
