You would be the one who believes what a car dealer says at face value.

When they come out with them, I should be financially ready by then.

I don't think Hybrids are that great anyway, so I don't consider them worth
it.  They have much more parts than they need to have.  A fuel cell engine
would be a lot simpler and easier on the repairs.

I don't commute much anyway.  In fact, I usually only drive about 10 miles
per week.  For when I do want to go long distances (Portland, Vancouver), I
don't want to rent a car.  I'd rather have equity.  I'm still making car
payments, and I pay for car insurance.  I moved from a place where the
transit system really sucked, so I needed a car.  I never said mass transit
was right for everyone or everyone else.

It's called market manipulation through politics.  Haliburton and Enron are
like that.
