About LinkBacksCheck this article out. It says the Chrysler Aspen will be available with a hybrid 5.7l Hemi and eventually the Dodge Durango will get it too. The article claims a 25% increase in fuel economy. I'd certainly like that if it all worked as seamlessly as MDS does.

I saw that article here..the news-bot picked it up.
They are probably looking to do it with their heaviest, least economical vehicles first, to try to offset more stringent CAFE standards, which are almost certainly coming.
I don't know that they'd bother with the LX cars, though it would be cool, because the addition of an electric motor would almost certainly make our cars a little bit faster!
I don't know where they'd put the batteries though. I guess with the magnums they could put them out back, remove the spare and just outfit the car with run-flat tires or something.2007 Magnum SRT8 Steel Blue Metallic/Option groups 1,2,3/Roof Rack/Sirius/Everything but VES

Hoping for a hybrid sometime soon. I could always use a new daily driver so I can really start modifying the SRT8.

I don't understand why no one has made a Flex Fuel/Hybrid. That would really reduce our dependence on foreign oil and wouldn't require a lot of extra work to a hybrid drivetrain. Diesel Hybrid is a great idea too.

Here's a link to the technology they will use. I would consider a hybrid with this setup.
