I was just reading a story in the news about Saturn coming up with new hybrid technology that's supposed to be more powerful and more efficient. They expect to start rolling the actual vehicles out in 2010.

Excerpt:
Set to debut in 2010, GM's next hybrid system will be an upgrade to the current hybrid which is available in only three GM models in the United States. The company's new hybrids will deliver three times more power using lithium-ion batteries instead of the current nickel-metal hydride batteries. In addition to delivering a more powerful boost during acceleration, the new hybrid systems also will increase fuel economy and provide brief electric-only power.

I hope it's as good as the make it sound because Saturn is projecting sales of 100,000 which is a huge increase over the less than 20,000 hybrids they are currently selling.
