Ferrari is already planning to push hybrid versions, like the 599 HY-KERS revealed this week, to every model in its lineup within three to four years, so it's no surprise that new reports say Maserati is considering the move as well. The sister companies aren't as tightly interwoven as they once were, but both are still under Fiat's umbrella, and Maserati is expected to leverage Ferrari's development for its own cars.Maserati is perhaps an even better fit for hybrid drivetrains that Ferrari--though they are capable of impressive performance, Maseratis are generally less expensive, more frequently driven, and as much about image as anything else--meaning a green clean-up that comes at the cost of performance or weight won't have the purist's sports car bias to overcome.According to the report, Maserati is also working on other initiatives to help improve fuel efficiency in its cars, including weight reduction.

As Hyundai continues to branch out into new segments, its European operation, which until recently has focused primarily on small cars, is debuting the Hyundai i-flow concept in Geneva. It's a vision of a coming Hyundai that's expected to do battle in Europe's larger D-segment. The i-flow is the latest concept to wear Hyundai's "fluidic sculpture" design language, and the large D-segment sedan wears it well. Hailing from Hyundai's European Design Headquarters in Russelsheim, Germany, the i-flow incorporates lightweight materials and solar cells from supplier BASF meant to reduce weight and increase energy efficiency. The i-flow is fitted with Hyundai's first-ever diesel hybrid drivetrain, in which a 1.7-liter diesel engine with dual-stage turbocharging is mated to Hyundai's Blue Drive hybrid system and a new six-speed dual-clutch gearbox. As we understand it, the i-flow is a parallel hybrid, allowing it to be powered by its lithium-polymer battery pack and electric motors, the di

The other day, I put a scare into both myself and a driver when I almost stepped out in front of her hybrid car. She was shaken up and looked stunned that an adult would be so careless. I was just embarrassed. But as I told a friend about it the next day, I found that it’s more common than I thought. He had done the same thing a few weeks earlier. Then, someone else told me about a woman who was putting groceries in the trunk of her car and didn’t even realize that a hybrid vehicle nearly backed into her!
