Or maybe it's just time we realized that hybrid technology should be available across the board from all manufacturers... so it's not exactly copying... it's common sense - and better yet, it's about time!

Plug in Hybrids = not the smartest idea. I cant wait until everyone realizes that you have to pay for electricity. I bet the electric utilities (especially in california) are cringing at the thought of an incredible, extra strain on their lines, especially in the summer when everyone runs their AC.
