Saw it at the dealership yesterday (flyer), the guy said they where going through with the "concept" and would be releasing these hybrid Jeeps within a few years... not that I trust a dealership salesman, no offence, but my experience with their knowledge has been much more than questionable.

either way, it will make ... or break.  :-\

Im down with the idea though, its going to all be this way sooner than later, so the faster they get started...

Check out Chrysler's own magazine at:

The video of the JK is well.. booooorrriiinnngg, but what the hey.  If they make 2010 and they make a Rubi version for a reasonable price, I'd be in line to get one.

I have a bit of a concern driving an electric vehicle through the water that we sometimes do around here <chuckle>.  I'd definitely look forward to the smooth torque, the better city acceleration along with the likely awesome fuel economy so long as I didn't have to give up durability, functionality and range.
