Not much new info, though it's interesting to see it getting discussed in the business trades. One of the Nissan execs mentions that car companies don't make any money off of hybrids. One also gets the impression from the article that Ford is the leader in hybrid technology, as opposed to the lead adapter. |

For instance, in 2007 Nissan will introduce the all new Hybrid Altima... Which uses the Prius HSD. If Hybrids weren't profitable, why would Nissan bother? | |
