Edmunds takes a closer look at the Porsche hybrid

The Cayenne hybrid will be coming soon?

Is the Porsche Cayenne hybrid really going to be built? When? How much will it cost?

While the answers to the last two questions are not clear, Porsche is absolutely going to build the Cayenne hybrid and other other hybrid vehicles, according to Edmunds.

"Porsche is not ready to give us answers to our "When?" and "How much?" questions. It would only say that the Cayenne Hybrid will hit the market "before the end of the decade," adding that the "USA has the highest hybrid sales potential."

More important, it appears that Porsche is not only, like most automakers, experimenting with lithium, the automaker and its partners are also adding a new, unique perspective to hybrid technology - helping to advance the potential of hybrid technology.

That's great news for hybrid fans.
