Unfortunately you are right; most current hybrids are a crock. I REALLY wanted to believe in them, but they are far from saving the earth, as some people believe.
However, i will say this: in order for the technology to advance, the early stages have to happen. It's like a lot of things; the first models are usually not as good as the following generations.
Also, electric vehicles are better than other vehicles, but when they are pulling in power from fossil fuels, they don't have a "zero carbon footprint", like some want to believe.
I'm an admitted green freak too, so I consume information about these things ravenously, and while I want to believe in them, I know that over hype that can be proved incorrect is damaging to the cause.
