Will green-car buyers bite at Porsche’s high-speed hybrids?
Among the rush of green car announcements at this week's Detroit auto show, Porsche unveiled two new entries in the green car race. First, the German supercar maker announced a hybrid version of its Cayenne SUV, due in 2010 (photo above). Porsche also said that after its all-new Panamera ( a grand touring, 4-door sedan) debuts next year, a hybrid version will follow sometime after (see diagram below). There's no price information as yet, but these models are likely to cost three, four or more times the cost of a Prius hybrid.
