i was reading MOPAR magazine and saw that there was a dodge hybrid drivetrain concept

... i was wondering if anyone knew anything more about it or if its just speculation...

Dodge has been saying that they're coming out with various hybrids for years now, but they never come. The 2009 Hybrid Durango is the only one I'm aware of that is supposed to come out anytime soon.

worst comes to worst I could see Dodge becoming more of a muscle car and pick up brand than anything else. They don't have much of a stronghold on the small car market.

Can't do it for too long with the 2020 CAFE standards coming.

Ahhhh good point. I completely forgot. That's such a communist thing to do... limit the cars we drive. What the heck.
