Unless you were in Las Vegas last weekend, you haven't seen the new hybrid Mitsubishi is coming out with soon.
Osamu Masuko, the president of Mitsubishi, announced at the company’s annual dealer’s meeting that an
all electric vehicle, as well as several hybrid models, will be hitting this market soon. The new cars, which will be sold first in Japan before coming to the US, will feature the latest lithium-ion batter technology. You could get your hands on one as early as 2010. . . ."
Gosh darn, 2010 seems a long way off.
