The Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang, I say so what? Why do you need all that power? Where can you use it? Yet, Ford tries to build buzz with these kinds of vehicles. Forget the muscle cars.

Today, the costs of such a vehicle are probably too expensive for most consumers, as evidenced by Toyota's recent statements on diesel hybrids. However, as more suppliers provide the technology for clean... Full article...

The Toyota FT-HS hybrid sports concept vehicle is different - thankfully. First, this concept hybrid car is being built on a production-ready platform, so Toyota is essentially ready to produce this t-roof hybrid sports car if they would like to, and let's hope they do. Second, what is really intriguing about this vehicle is what it says about the potential of hybrid... Full article...

It seems that Honda is aiming at the same kind of publicity coup again with its all new Insight hybrid concept vehicle that just debuted at the Paris Motor Show. Today, even as hybrid fans are salivating over rumors about what Toyota's all-new 2010 Prius will be like, Honda is reaping the benefits of sharing... Full article...

It has done it again with the PSA Peugeot Citroën HYmotion4 system. Unlike other hybrids with the electric motor integrated with the transmission, Hymotion4 uses an internal combustion engine to drive either the front or rear wheels and an electric motor to drive the other axle. This is not the first Citroen to use two independent powerplants... Full article...

Hydrogen cars are not a solution right now, but they will be. Twenty years ago people said hybrid cars were not worth persuing.
