Hi. To answer your question, hybrids aren't commercially available here, yet.

Last friday, a toyota prius (a black one) was on display infront of the UP bahay ng alumni. The attendants were willing enough to let me sit in the driver's position for a little while (no test drive, of course).

they said that there are only 4 Priuses in the country - 3 are operated by toyota, and our president has one.

Sobrang mahal raw kasi, but they hinted that it might enter the philippine market someday.

About the car... The central energy display meter was fun for a while, and the long dashboard reminds me of the current generation civic.

Nakasabay ko yata ang 1 of those prius mula Sta. Exit northbound sa SLEX.

Ang laki ng "Prius" sa gilid ng car.

One thing hot with hybrid owners is the addition of a solar panel on the roof. Imagine driving in stop and go traffic (the hybrid's worst nightmare) and having that solar panel to recharge the batteries so you can just use the electric motor.

if hybrids are not given a tax break, it will not find enough commercial demand for it. To expect fuel prices to eventually go up so much to make hybrids attractive is asking for the moon. By that time, fuel prices will be so high that people will not want to use their cars that much anymore, can't afford the fuel prices.

I forgot about that.

By the way, I think there's a hybrid civic in the country as well.

My sister owns a camry hybrid. I think she purchased it on one of the shops sa may GMA 7 area? Me, I had to settle for the 08 V6 Accord.
