Stupid Toyota to build hybrid plant

Silly Toyota keeps trucking along with hybrids, like this hybrid Camry

Toyota is going to build a new hybrid parts factory in Japan according to several news sources. Not much is known about specific plans for the hybrid plant, but it seems obvious that Toyota keeps ramping up for greater and greater production of hybrid cars.

Yet, Toyota's hybrids are consistently questioned. Series hybrids are better than Toyota's parallel hybrids. Toyota's hybrid powertrain is too complex. The Prius just doesn't make sense.

Apparently, Toyota is the dumbest automaker on the planet, staking their future on second rate hybrid technology. Of course, one has to continually ask, where are these technologically superior hybrids vehicles?

Dahcredyns,
My experience with hybrid technology consists of having salvaged some copper wire from an old electric motor for a U of MD hybrid car project, some 12 years ago. I get the differences between circuits in series v. parallel insofar as having a couple of semesters of physics as an undergrad. I don’t know the implications of such differences on electrochemistry, or anything else to do with batteries. Do you know a good primer?

i read a fairly good article a while back, but i'm not sure it was as technical as you might be seeking.

I would honestly have to say that you have just written one of the if not the worst argument that i have ever seen... your entire argument is one large logical fallacy, if you are going to bitch about toyota and make claims to their stupidity, at least have evidence to back your theory up.
