Cayenne Hybrid: A step in the right direction for Porsche
Hybrids+ might be Porsche's only way forward, such as this Porsche Cayenne hybridSo, Greenpeace doesn't like Porsche, even if they do convert some of their vehicles into hybrid vehicles, such as the Cayenne hybrid. Who cares? Greenpeace doesn't believe that hybrids are a solution to global warming either. Apparently, the world's transportation economy is just supposed to stop.

So, Greenpeace doesn't like Porsche, even if they do convert some of their vehicles into hybrid vehicles, such as the Cayenne hybrid. Who cares? Greenpeace doesn't believe that hybrids are a solution to global warming either. Apparently, the world's transportation economy is just supposed to stop.
I prefer to deal with realism.
For example, a week ago I was invited to test-drive a Chevy Tahoe hybrid. I loved it, but I would never buy one. I don't need a vehicle of that size. More important, I prefer to be as fuel efficient as possible, which is why I rarely drive, preferring to live much of my life around LA's GoldLine. Moreover, I believe America needs to downsize and be as efficient as possible.
Nonetheless, I appreciate the Chevy Tahoe hybrid - for now. It is a step in the right direction. Furthermore, the Tahoe hybrid is an investment in hybrid technology, and hybrid technology can lead to revolutionary changes in the automotive world.
Ultimately, if lithium batteries for automobiles can be perfected, everything can change, and hybrids represent one of the best ways to make that happen.
That's why I support Porsches's hybrid efforts, again, for now.
Inevitably, Porsche must change and revolutionize their segment. Today's 'Porsche experience' cannot survive into the future. Legislation cannot, and should not, be dictated by segments of the consumer market, such as trucks, suvs or sports cars - it should be dictated by achieving change, such as ending foreign oil dependency. Therefore, Porsche's technology will have to change, and the Cayenne hybrid is a good start.
Change is good.
Electric cars, for example, have demonstrated that they can compete, even out-compete, any other technologies in terms of speed or quickness. Thus, whether its electric cars, plug-in hybrids, super-turbo-charged-ultracapacitors, or fuel cells, Porsche must be prepared to use new technologies to meet a much higher standard.
Besides, Porsche consumers can afford advanced technology, it's just up to Porsche to package that technology into the new 'Porsche experience'.
Of course, then again, foreign oil dependency, pollution and global warming might all just be Greenpeace conspiracies that will one day be exposed, and there will then be no need to change.
