Default BMW to build hybrid X6 crossover in Greer [,SC]

With the dismal news about Toyota stopping it's plans to build the Prius in Mississippi. It was good to hear that another automaker was continuing to expand their US operations and include a hybrid in the mix.

...The BMW Concept X6 ActiveHybrid, to be built at BMW’s Greer assembly plant, will offer a more advanced two-mode hybrid system, mating an eight-cylinder engine and electric drive to provide about a 20 percent fuel economy improvement.
....
Last year, the German automaker unveiled plans to invest $750 million in its Greer plant, by adding 1.5 million square feet and creating 500 more jobs. It also announced plans to increase its production to 240,000 vehicles in 2012.
