Speculations are on about the future of hybrid cars. With relatively new technology, some believe that hybrid cars are fast turning into the cars of future. Consumers are ready to take chance with the advance technology which hybrid cars have on offer. Today, Honda and Toyota are the two prominent companies producing hybrid cars.

While Honda launched its Honda Civic Hybrid, Toyota is ready with its Prius. With brands such as Nissan, Mazda, Ford, Fiat, Peugeot, Audi, Mercury and even Porsche, all these vehicles are licensed to use Toyota's Hybrid technology in future. In spite of this much hyped show, hybrid cars are somehow falling flat on consumer market.

Hybrid cars lack in mileage which is a great setback for all the hybrid car owners. Currently a hybrid car gets up to a mileage of 31 mpg on city and 45 mpg on highway. Unless manufacturers seriously look into this aspect, the car may fail to sustain the on-going hybrid mania for long.
