From what I understand, the hybrid discount isn't quite so much about the performance of the vehicle, but of the drivers. The overall demographic of the hybrid buyer is generally believed to include people who are more conscientious, careful about what they invest in (presumably including taking care of their car), and if not affluent, at least willing/able to spend that kind of money on a car.

That all "sounds plausible", but I don't personally know if those perceptions bear any actual weight. After all, I have a 2006 Prius coming into the dealership for me next week, so the actual demographics can't be THAT stellar. ;)
