Sounds like they're planning on jumping in with a significantly more
advanced technology. That might mean they wind up trumping Toyota pretty
soundly, depending on how fast Toyota can roll out their own new tech.
Right now, hybrids are only a little better than a novelty because
there are gasoline and diesel compacts that get significantly better
mileage than the hybrids. And where have all the first-gen Priuses and
Insights gone? I almost never see one anymore.
