There's a big surprise. I knew this was going to happen. If they wanted to offer a more fuel efficient model they should have gone Diesel. Less cost of investment, more proven market, more logical, etc. I question the logic of the Hybrid Ram idea as well. Although most drivers rarely use the full towing potential, having a 6000-7000 pound towing capacity just seems silly to spend all the money for having less towing capacity to save a couple mpgs. A smaller diesel is the way to go as they can have similar or better towing capabilities AND better fuel economy. The only car I can see benefiting from Hybrid technology would be the 300 & Charger and frankly, I question if even those would be more popular than a diesel variant. If you look at the stats, the Hybrids that sell well are the compacts. The larger ones simply do not sell because it is a different audience.

Hybrid drivers care about one thing, higher fuel economy stats to be smug about. The type of people who drive larger cars generally are car lovers and do not look at fuel economy numbers as the number one priority; otherwise, they would go with a vehicle more in line with what they NEED instead of what they want. I don't NEED an Intrepid, in all truth a Geo Metro is probably all I really NEED, the issue is I want something that allows me to have enough room to where my legs are not pressed against my chest, something that is reasonably safe, something that doesn't feel like a go-cart with a cage, and isn't an ugly, shotty, death trap.
