Default I Have not Voted - BAS Does not Count

In previous discussions, BAS was dismissed as autostop. For the purposes of this poll, a hybrid vehicle will help propel - not merely shut down the engine at intersections.

I'm not sure who will be next, but several thoughts. Europeans are more interested in diesel than hybrids, so that might favor the Asian automakers.

Having mentioned less European hybrid interest, Volkswagen has made many fuel-efficient vehicles - would love for them to do a diesel hybrid. I'd have to search here at GreenHybrid, but an early member hailing from Sweden mentions some signifcant work on a Saab hybrid sedan that GM would be wise to take note. Then again, Volvo makes the hybrid components of the Ford Escape. BMW seems the least likely to do a hybrid next.

So as of this time - count me....confused and undecided.
