    Alright. We have years of unabashed media blitz, start-n-stop development, and if we're lucky in about six years we'll see a finished product too expensive for anyone in their right mind to buy.

    Maybe I'm just cynical.

    I remain skeptical. When the two-mode hybrid was announced, I was looking forward to a test drive only to discover ... you had to pay $50k and there was no test drive. Then the milage ...

    They has a Saturn VUE two-mode ... now dead. Heck, they had Saturn ... now dead.

    So when I can take one out for a spin ... 2015? 2020? 2030?

    I'm not holding my breath.
