The smaller Toyota Prius and Honda Civic gas-electric hybrids remain hits that are in short supply. But the luxury Lexus RX 400h SUV and Honda Accord sedan hybrids have been taking longer to sell than their conventional counterparts, reports USA Today. Ford and Toyota have even added some modest incentives to their hybrid SUVs — a signal that sales haven’t completely met expectations.
