I've never understood what the big deal is with the Hybrids, as you said, they don't do much better than other small cars.

The worst is the Smart car though. They're outrageously expensive, tiny, scary, and don't even manage to get great gas mileage.
The point of the Smart car is its small size for city driving and parking, not gas mileage. There really isn't much point to them over here in the States, but plenty of other cities in the world are ideal for them.
