I had read somewhere that the Big 3 U.S. automakers are putting most of their eggs in the fuel cell basket, saying that they are going to leapfrog the Japanese. However, the Japanese companies are saying that hybrids are a bridging technology that will get consumers ready for fuel cells when the time comes and that it will be a couple decades before fuel cells are ready. So it looks to me as if the U.S. automakers have bet too much on the future, while ignoring current demand, which is allowing the Japanese automakers to eat their lunch in the hybrid space.

The downside to the consumer is that demand is far outpacing supply and that combined with the lack of widespread hybrid competition is keeping hybrid prices high.
