VW to offer hybrid version on all future new models
Volkswagen AG is planning to offer versions of all its upcoming new models with full and partial hybrid engines, Ulrich Hackenberg, head of product development at the automaker told Automobilewoche magazine. In doing so, VW will become the second automaker after DaimlerChrysler's Mercedes-Benz to place particular importance on more fuel-efficient and environmentally-friendly cars, the magazine said.

Re: VW to offer hybrid version on all future new models
Interesting development. My 1975 Rabbit got 35-45 MPG depending on if I had it cornering on 3 wheels (35 MPG) or going 55 on 4 wheels (45 MPG). I am hearing Dreyer & Reinbold's VW ads for their new models which get a whopping 30 MPG highway!! Hey my old Bonneville got that, my Corolla is rated at 38.
It would be nice to see the Germans look at hybrid technology. Look at the absolute genious that was put into making the BMW 745 engine with the no throttle valve train and the variable ram air intake manifold. That engine is the most advanced engine since the Napier Deltic.

Sounds like vaporware to me (or many years off), but I would love to see some of that german design combined with hybrid technology!
