A Hybrid Kuga would have been an explosion, but this, it's a small poof..

I read somewhere that 65% of all Hybrids ever sold are Toyotas.

Sales will pick up here with the Corolla Cross Hybrid and RAV4 Hybrid as well as others...

Said there is no demand....well I was going to buy one. Given the current market selling even 1 car should be seem as a bonus.
