That bothered me too. I like the idea of being able to choose a vehicle for my needs, and I like the idea of manufacturers being able to make vehicles according to demand. Some regulations are necessary, but a lot of things just work out better without the government forcing them. If hybrids are truly an economic upgrade, then supply and demand will lead to an increase of them from manufacturers.
