Depends on where you live - hybrids make sense in cities, but out here diesels make much more sense.
What we really need to move to is a drivetrain similar to locomotives. A gas or diesel engine used as a generator to create electricity which drives electric motors directly in the wheels. Get rid of transmission losses and allow the engine to operate at its most efficient rpm all the time. Plus no stinkin' batteries to replace
