Hybrid/Electric cars make up about 1% of new car sales here. I think that due to the longer distances we tend to drive here that they are disadvantaged, plus the higher buying price. I think some of the newer technology that increases range will make a difference. Also now they compete with a large range of very fuel efficient cars, the running costs are not as significant as previous.
From memory I think V8s were about 20% of all Commodore sales.

Thanks - I didn't think the Aussie consumer would be as gullible as the American.
The hybrids have real possibility but currently the range/price shortcomings are a major handicap.
I assume you'll be at Bathurst!?
