Toyota insists the Prius will be profitable, but Lutz said he believes the only way a company can shoulder the extra cost of a hybrid system is by putting it on a higher-priced, higher margin vehicle such as a pickup or sport/utility vehicle.

Lutz did concede it may be more difficult to get an environmentally-conscious buyer to look at a hybrid light truck rather than a hybrid compact.
