I'll second that! Unfortunately we'll have to wait until 2009 or 2010.

Chevy has a new hybrid truck powertrain coming out that has two electric motors with 4 gear ratios. Autoweek says it'll run at 80mph in 4 cylinder mode and have a 40% improvement in city mileage. They said it'll be in showrooms this year, probably in a Suburban/Tahoe first.
