Luxury hybrids gone crazy

Luxury hybrid vehicles were the story at the Geneva Motor Show, but do anything of them mean anything beyond rich person guilt?Well, I guess it's green

Dang, has the selection of hybrid cars increased significantly in just the last few days. Porsche, Maserati, Ferrari have all confirmed plans to produce new hybrid vehicles.

Of course, those were just some of the top end hybrids, Audi, Mercedes, BMW and Infinity, for instance, also announced new hybrids during the course of the Geneva Motor Show.

But do any of these hybrids really mean anything in terms of advancing hybrid technology to the masses?

Sure, rich people can keep their rich toys and sleep soundly at night knowing that they have reduced their carbon footprint a bit. Unfortunately, however, even if you combine all these hybrids and their sale's potential, they still don't offer any scale for bringing hybrid vehicle costs down for the rest of us.
