Friends: 3 | Re: Secret Chrysler plug-in hybrid revealed! Although I doubt Chrysler is serious about anything other than bankruptcy, it would be awesome if they surprised America and these things just showed up on dealer lots one day. "Chrysler Vice Chairman and President Jim Press says some dealers have seen advanced prototypes of the company's plug-in hybrids, and according to the Los Angeles Times, Press claims to have actually driven "producible prototypes.." "According to Chrysler spokesman Nick Cappa, the first vehicles out of Envi will have an electric-only range of 40 miles."  Image courtesy Chrysler. Last edited by Rybold; 09-05-2008 at 02:48 PM. |

Friends: 18 | Re: Secret Chrysler plug-in hybrid revealed! We can only hope this thing is ready to fly. I like the looks -- except for the rather massive grill up front. 40 miles. Hmm. Sounds familiar. I'd love to see Chrysler pull this one off, but I don't know that I'd be in the first group to buy one. |

Friends: 6 | Re: Secret Chrysler plug-in hybrid revealed! I'm usually left rather bored by car looks in general (Prius gratefully excluded) but this car I like. Amazing that it comes from Chrysler. |

Friends: 4 | Re: Secret Chrysler plug-in hybrid revealed! I'd buy it. My wife's Neon has been bulletproof so far and if that plugin really needed some work I just happen to know a few people. Don't forget that Chrysler is not under the pressure of being a public company. The guys at the top get to really call the shots and IMO that's the only way that Chrysler is going to make it. You can see it already bu them dumping unpopular models (Magnum, PT vert, Sebring sedan, Crossfire). It will take years to get them on the right track though. |

Friends: 7 | Re: Secret Chrysler plug-in hybrid revealed! I'd buy one for sure. I refuse to buy another gas only vehicle. Hopefully all electric and/or hydrogen will be a viable option for lease or purchase nation wide in the next few years. |
