    All of them are doing it, so why shouldn’t I? Mused Nissan and voila! They are soon to launch a luxury gas-electric hybrid for the US and Japanese markets next year. Toyota did it and Honda did it too so now Nissan is stepping in to bring fresh spotlights and attention. Currently the brand buys hybrid systems from Toyota for the Nissan Altima hybrid but is promising a vehicle packed with Nissan’s own hybrid system by 2010.


    There are a few reports saying that Nissan’s hybrid system will be offered for the luxury Infiniti M, sold as the Fuga in Japan. Why hybrids? Because they ‘deliver better mileage and reduce global warming gas emissions, compared with ordinary cars and because hybrids switch between a gasoline engine and an electric motor to deliver gas-sipping efficiency’. Now we know.
