New Chrysler hybrids and EVs coming
The EcoVoyager Concept at NAIASWithout giving any details, Jim Press told reporters today that Chrysler will launch 7 major models in 2010. Press also stated that Chrysler was, and will continue to, work on electric drive vehicles and that such vehicles would make their way to market not long after 2010.
Last week, Chrysler announced that the Envi Unit had been quietly working on new hybrid cars and electric vehicles, however, they also noted one vehicle looked good for off-roading. Thus, it's hard to know if these are just niche vehicles focused on attaining EV hype, or if Chrysler is serious about making a major move to electrification in the next few years.

And there we go....the year 2010 is still the target, for reasons unfathomable to me!
Maybe in 2010 gas prices will plunge and the US will not care and not remember the pain at the pump? If that happens, the auto makers can quietly pull all the plugs on these cars -- pun intended!
Hopefully, all of my personal vehicles can hang around until 2010 so I can buy something worthwhile...
i've heard a number of energy analysts claim that there could be a short - still a few years long - pull back in oil and gas prices. the calm before the storm. yet, no doubt that even a temporary pullback would quickly result in many returning to their old 'i don't care about fuel economy' habits and beliefs.
still, we have new cafe regs and automakers claiming its different this time, but......
yet, no doubt that even a temporary pullback would quickly result in many returning to their old 'i don't care about fuel economy' habits and beliefs.
People with that mentality need to disappear already. We've had enough of them.
yet, many that had that mentality a few years ago would return to their old habits. change is occurring, albeit slowly, but it is occurring.
