I'm inclined to agree with the "too little too late" statement, since SAAB should have started this bandwagon rolling. I have oft lamented Volvo's bi-fuel or Vauxhall/Opel's dual fuel offerings, but it does seem that SAAB has gone one better with this one. It is late, but I wonder how much of that has been SAAB "going to the man" and saying "here, take a look at this eco-idea" and having them just reject it. > Hybrid biodiesel. Now we're talking.

Yes, > that seems like a good approach. Okay, I'm being picky. I spent a day or so thinking about whether and why I should ask you ...
