Peugeot's diesel hybrid in 2010?

The C-Metisse diesel hybrid vehicle by Peugeot could hit the streets of France in 4 years.In the last year or two, executives from Peugeot have made very positive statements regarding the future of hybrid vehicles, essentially claiming that hybrids ARE the future. The idea being that Europe's diesel vehicles will become diesel hybrid vehicles and, eventually, fuel cell hybrid vehicles. 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 diesels and hybrids, costs will reduce. Consequently, Peugeot is showing off its C-Métisse diesel hybrid vehicle at the Paris Auto Show, which could hit the streets by 2010 according to MSNBC.
