Smart going hybrid?

Mild hybrid, gas hybrid or diesel hybrid, it's your choice?

At Live Earth Smart showed off a number of new ForTwo vehicles, including a number of hybrid cars according to Edmunds.

By next year, the ForTwo mild hybrid could be available in the States. According to Smart the mild hybrid could achieve around 66 mpg and a top speed of 90 mph.

In addition, Smart also showed off two diesel hybrids - full hybrids. One diesel hybrid, a concept vehicle, achieves a whopping 97 mpg and a top speed of 84 mph, while the almost ready ForTwo CDI diesel hybrid achieves 86 mpg and a similar top speed. While the mild hybrid ForTwo can go 0 - 60 in just over 13 seconds, the diesel hybrid concept takes almost 16 seconds and the CDI takes almost 20 seconds.

Still, for light use commuting vehicles, this kind of fuel economy is simply fantastic despite the lack of quickness.
