3) It is too expense for a lower volume car like the Camaro. We are more likely to see it in something like the Cruze first. They sale as many of those a month as they sold Camaros all last year. We'll see a hybrid Cruze long before we see a hybrid Camaro.
That said, I do thing some day we may well see a hybrid Camaro, and maybe even an EV Vette-like vehicle. I just don't see it happing in the next 6-8 years.

All valid points. I just think it would be a great way to develop the technology. The traditional motors/turbo may end up being just as efficient, but if anything it would help develop the technology/get some PR. I just think it would be cool to see
I would be happy to put the bet in escrow, just a friendly bet
