This needs to be in the G8 ASAP or it won't do well with today's gas prices.
Exactly, Fiery. I am second guessing the G8 as a replacement for my Bonneville because of gas prices. The mileage isn't actually much worse, but given the increasing prices the sensible side of me is smacking the "I want a fraking fast car!" part of me for not considering a more efficient vehicle than my current ride. I think Ming had the same doubts and got something that used less fuel.

I'm not sure which path I will end up on... but if I knew a 2-mode hybrid G8 was coming for a reasonble price bump within 24 months it might change my plan. For example, instead of buying a brand new G8 I might buy a used car around the $10k price point instead to hold me over for a "G8 GTH"...
