True. Look at Tesla and Fisker. Audi and Porsche are looking into electric and/or hybrid vehicles; Panamera already has stop/start. BMW will be selling a 7-Series hybrid and MB has a hybrid S-Class in Europe. Speaking of which, diesels even in the upper levels of premium brands sell decently there, due to not just lower consumption and C02 and higher regular fuel prices, but because of tax breaks that go along with it. There are some incentives to having more fuel efficient cars in the US too, though less so. People think differently when gas goes up to $4+/gal, however...
