At the moment, there is only one automaker in the world that has production plans for a car with a diesel hybrid powertrain: Peugeot. But that could change in the near future with news that General Motors is now working on its own version of the super efficient drivetrain.
General Motors is said to be working [...]
Yes, these rumors come and go, but it seems like it’s back again. This is just sort of the thing I like to encourage, not the rumor mongering so much (although that might not hurt), but the idea that someone should go out and build a hybrid sportscar that’s tuned for performance first, and [...]
Toyota made their North American debut for the 2010 Prius Plugin Hybrid Vehicle (PHV) today at the 2009 LA Auto Show. There have been a lot of people waiting for this car, proven by the numerous aftermarket kits made to covert the standard Prius into a Plugin.

It looks like Mercedes Benz is really going ahead with its plans to have hybrids and eco-friendly cars across its entire product range. And here’s a prime example of that: the Mercedes S500 Vision Plug-in Hybrid. Yup, that would be a top of the line S-Class that’s not just a hybrid, but a plug [...]
Have you ever seen the South Park episode “Smug Alert,” in which the whole town of South Park buys hybrid cars?
