Seems like theres a lot of hybrids coming out these days, I was just looking at Toyotas lineup coming out this to next year and they have like 6 cars from SuVs to Sports coupes that are hybrid powered.
Thinking soon with gas prices increasing, and OPEC saying they want gas prices at $60 a barrel that hybrids and alt fuel cars will become very popular. Basically the huge increase in fuel cost is going to spur a lot of innovative growth in Car technology and the next few years are going to a rush. |

I just read that Toyota's licensing their hybrid technology to Nissan. Nissan has to produce 100,000 vehicles a year. They're going to mate the hybrid technology with their 2.5 Altimas and also put them in the Maxima and others with the 3.5 V6. My wife has the 2.5 Altima, I wonder if I'll be able to retrofit a hybrid system into it. Probably too complicated.
