It would be boring is what it would be. The big hybrids are not so much about increasing MPG as they are about getting performance without LOWERING mileage.

Maintaining the performance of a Cayenne S with the consumption of a base Cayenne has to be a good thing. I think that is what they are trying to achive. If they were succesful? I have no clue.

I certainly hope BMW is not going to try to make a green-mobile - I want them to keep making BMW's

Exactly, that is why they need to stop the nonsense of making current models 'hybrid' and start building models that were designed that way from the ground up.

my touareg v10 diesel licks 30 on the highway, wtf

The mountains of torque on that beast must make up for it

Seems like the 3.0 diesel X5's are only getting high 20's mpg in everyday driving (and that's with the 20% bigger imperial gallon) - don't know about highway

EPA

15 City
17 Combined
20 Highway
