Well, I'm not going to get into the choices that the automakers have made. I agree with most of braisler's points, but I don't think that they are relevant to the question that was asked.
Just to update. I have had my Civic Hybrid for over 2 years now. I still love it. I average 38 mpg around town, which is the majority of my driving. When I do get out on the freeways, I get between 42 and 52 mpg depending on how many hills I have to climb. When I drive from my home to my son's home I have several steep climbs. Those definitely bring the mpg down.
My car has plenty of power. I can get up to speed quickly and maintain it easily. I can climb most hills and power by other cars if needed. It does still startle people who aren't used a car that turns off it's engine when you come to a stop. But that's part of the fun.
