according to this study i read recently,
an Expedition is more environmentally friendly than the Prius.
hard to imagine, but if you count not just the fossil fuel consumption but also the environmental impact of building the car -- the Prius is crammed with exotic and expensive (and toxic!) materials that are very hard to dispose of. like the batteries.

The 2nd gen Prius uses an electric aircon.
The Honda Civic Hybrid's system is known as an Assist hybrid.
Assist Hybrids can't run on their electric motor alone, its either the gasoline engine only or the gasoline engine + the electric motor.

I can't remember who made the study, but I know it wasn't Ford.
Yes, Expeditions cost very little in terms of material and money... that's why Ford makes so many! They make megabucks off of what they sell them for.
RE: Prius, there's still no official word... same with the Honda Civic Hybrid which Honda was test marketing.
There really isn't much of a market for hybrids here in the Philippines... people who want to save money on gas will get something like a Picanto or a Jazz/City... cars which can almost match the Prius's real world efficiency, yet which cost less than half as much as a new Prius.
A Prius would likely cost 1.7 to 2 million pesos in Philippine currency. By the time you've made back your money on a Prius versus a Picanto, both cars will be around 20 years old or so... with nearly half a million kilometers on them... and the Prius would be on its second set of batteries, which may cost a couple of hundred thousand pesos more...
Hybrids make more sense as a luxury or performance item... a way to have more power while using a bit less gas. Like turbodiesels... but even more so... From an economy point of view, they're not viable.... yet.
But they may never be viable. A single-engine LPG, CNG, turbodiesel or even pure electric car makes more sense from an economy standpoint.
