What I want, and what is realistically gonna be practical for a typical suburbanite like myself, is the Chevy Volt. Pure electrical for short range trips like my commute to and from work, the grocery store, etc, plus a small gas engine for extended trips or times when the electric doesn't have the all day commuting range I need.
Hybrids as they are available now seem silly to me, but the pure-hybrid designs like the Volt make a ton of sense, imo, especially over the 15-20 years its going to take to concert to a new fuel/power distribution system.
