Something will come. But I honestly don't think that any current hybrid system they would toss in there would make an ounce of difference in sales or the perception of this car. I support the advancement, but even Honda dropped the hybrid Accord because it just wasnt getting a significant gain in MPG over the non-hybrid. The word "hybrid" sells well on paper, but in the real world people are not dropping the extra dough on a car thats already getting great fuel economy numbers sanz the hybrid. Now, if they could get achieve Prius numbers with a hybrid variant..that would be something to talk about. Hopefully that isnt far off..but its not here now.
