That's kind of old news, well to me it is, but the media just got word on it recently. They've been building a few test vehicles for the past month or two.

It hadn't been revealed in detail until this auto show. Personally, I think +5 MPG, +40 hp for only +$2,000 is pretty darn good. As long as it proves reliable, the hybrid system will pay for itself in the life of the vehicle, plus provide some savings. Of course, the savings go up that much more if what I heard about a $2,000 tax bonus for buying a hybrid is true...
