Hi,

I just read this article about a new concept Land Rover Hybrid called the LRX. Looks cool and could be an indication that Ford is ready to make Hybrid crossovers.

Just what we need.

Another $50,000 SUV.

SUVs have their place in the world, but that place should never -- ever -- be that of primary commuter vehicle. One takes no issue with the idea of hybrid SUVs save one: they are too expensive and will be sold in too few numbers to really accomplish any positive ecological or sociopolitical effect.

This will be expensive but it is a small crossover vehicle, not a full fledged SUV. I can't tell if it's based on Ford's Edge platform or something smaller, but if this hybrid tech. makes it to the more affordable lines, it will have its place.
