Hybrids will be cheaper in the future. The head of audi believes most cars will be hybrid within 20 years. Talking of fuel efficiency, I test drove the new subaru xt forester. It is 20% more fuel efficient than the model it replaces. Hs a cvt gearbox that does a pretty good impression of an 8 speed dsg. Reminded me of a vw golf gti cross tiguan. The fuel efficiency was gained through direct injection and the cvt box. Pretty cool I think, considering it drives well.
