Mitsubishi to offer hybrid for American market?

Mitsubishi plans to sell a small electric car in America, possibly based off of the Concept-CT Miev or the next generation Colt. Though no official timeline has been provided, it probably won't be offered until around 2010. Moreover, since the vehicle will utilize lithium-ion batteries, production would be limited as supplies of such batteries are extremely low. Mitsubishi also added that it might offer a hybrid version of the vehicle as well, similar to the hybrid Mitsubishi showcased at the Detroit Auto Show.
