    I heard Toyota not investing in adding more Hybrids to their model line ? like maybe the Rav4.
    And now I even saw this Honda Fuel cell adverised on TV like as if we can go out
    and buy one . We need hydrogen filling stations first .
    But I wonder if this is what the auto manufacturers are planning to "invest" in for the future ?

    just a thought.

    The dealer in my area mentioned Toyota was gonna add hybrid to Rav4 and more models but lately
    all I see is the Camry Hybrid that was added ?

    For the foreseeable future your Prius will likely continue to be your best option.

    Besides if you take away the small Honda FCV stack what remains is essentially a purely electric vehicle. Sorry.

    And where did you hear that? Just because someone wants a car to be a hybrid and it isn't doesn't mean Toyota isn't doing anything (like the much talked Sienna lol).

    I don't know about you but ~ one hybrid a year is pretty damn good to me

    Apparently Honda is only going to sell a hand full of these, literally!! and those will be limited to a two or three county area in California where the refueling pumps will be. They keep advertising them on TV like you could go out and buy them tomorrow!! right! :lol:

    You could go buy a Prius tomorrow though! So I agree, Prius continues to be the best alternative that is available NOW!!

    The availability will be limited to three small-medium sized cities, not entire counties:
