I've got to say- this sounds like wonderful news to me if it does turn out as predicted. The fact that it was a Japanese research firm who made these predictions seems to be an indicator that they're retaining the 'edge' in hybrid technology, even as the US car companies scramble to make up for lost time. People here are just behind the curve! But if these trends are accurate, it should turn some heads in local industry- and maybe we'll see a change. I'm hopeful!
