    In the new issue of Car and Driver (hubby's a big C/D fan) there's an ad for a 'Charger Hybrid.'

    "The Charger Hybrid- it burns gas and rubber.
    Charger Unleashed- 340 horses of HEMI power-390 lb-ft of torque-All speed traction control-Electronic Stability Program-5-Speed AutoStick transmission-Visit dodge.com"

    At the website there is no mention of actual hybrids. But I did see a neat little line of electric cars made by GM.

    Sarcastic bastards over at Dodge advertising...

    Dodge just doesn't get it. I fear they are so far behind the fuel economy game, it appears that just using the word hybrid in their ads is all they can muster. Sad, really.

    <sigh> sad that they have to use the word "hybrid" just to get attention.

    So they are going to produce a hybrid with a HEMI?

    Sorry that doesn't make a ton of sense to me.

    Maybe they mean it literally.

    One intake for gas; one large furnace hole to shovel old tires into.

    I picture a sort of GM Road Warrior vehicle, tacked together and spewing out black smoke and sparks behind it.
