I bet those would fly off the lots and into driveways in nice neighborhoods as fast as Toyota can make them. A hybrid Tacoma would have all the "I'm handy, but not some hick that drives a full-size" implication of a new Tacoma with the implied environmentalism of a Prius.

I'm not saying this applies to you personally BTW, just that the "image" a hybrid Tacoma projects would subconsciously seal the deal for a lot of buyers.

Honda is coming out with a hybrid Ridgeline next year, and that image is definitely the customer they're after.
