Edmunds.com Study: Hybrid cars will pay for themselves over time

I also found the following in another article about the top concerns people have with hybrids:

6. Worry: Hybrids will not hold resale value
Don't be fooled by stories about used Toyota Priuses selling for near-new prices. The Prius is a unique, hybrid-only vehicle with an eye-catching design. It's produced and sold in low volumes. In terms of holding its value as a used car, the Prius has more in common with the Mini Cooper, another resale value champ, than a Ford Escape Hybrid SUV.

Like the Escape, most hybrid vehicles are versions of ordinary, non-hybrid vehicles with little to visually distinguish them.

Conclusion: A genuine cause for concern.

So I guess it's saying that hybrid depreciation is definitely a concern, unless you buy a Prius.
