I'm not a fan of hybrids simply I feel that they are not ready for primetime. I know 2 owners of 2005 Priuses that have been extremely problematic. In fact, my neighbor's recently begun emiting a high pitch scream (as in you can hear it a block away) when running on electric.

I'm neither a proponent or opponent to hybrid development. In fact, I know very little about hybrids since I have little interest in purchasing one. However, I would be very interested in what information sources you used in formulating your opinion. I can always stand to learn more about the subject.
