WE NEED MORE HYBRID VEHICLES NOW

I test drove the TOYOTA PRIUS hybrid and was quite impressed. I thought it's such a practical solution to the world's transportation needs so why are not more auto manufactures clamouring to market these cars? If I had the money I'd buy a hybrid today. Alas, I am one of the majority who can't afford it so I'm forced to pay the exobitent and extortionate price of gasoline. With gasoline prices rising daily, soon the economy will suffer. I'm just one person who has drastically reduced my driving to try to save money and the amount of driving required for work is determining what and where I look for work. If prices don't moderate, I predict soon people will just opt out of the economy not so much as a protest but because they have to.
