The porsche cayenne hybrid has now been shown in operation. from the
sound of it is much like a prius in configuration, even using crappy NIMH

googling for more I came across articles that if true indicated Porsche
announced this Cayenne hybrid back in 2005 already.
they indicate that it was developed in cooperation with VW and Audi
which is quite good news although not unexpected but more interestingly
they say VW will beat porsche to it and come out with a hybrid of their
Touareg in 2008
these hybrid are still only slightly more efficient gas cars and not EVs
but it's start
