In economic terms you can say the hybrid doesn't make sense, but is that the sole point of owning such a car? Throw emissions into the mix. Compare the emissions from a Corolla or a Civic against the Prius and there will be your answer. The goal of a hybrid is higher fuel economy and lower emission that a regular gasoline powered vehicle. Yes at a premium purchase price, but those cars are still consuming less gasoline and putting out fewer toxic gasses. While I love my 9-5, and I love accelerating onto the highway I definitely give credit to those folks who are paying the premium to pollute less and accelerate at a slightly different rate than me.
