--> Hyundai considers canceling hybrid program

Plans for the new Hyundai Sonata hybrid were updated at the LA Auto Show, where Hyundai unveiled its Hybrid Blue Drive. 

Hyundai's Blue Drive is a hybrid drive that utilizes lithium polymer batteries, rather than the NiMH batteries powering many of today's hybrid vehicles.

Hyundai's lithium battery is also a good bit different than the lithium batteries being explored by virtually every other automaker. So, this is a move that could instantly turn Hyundai into a major player in the hybrid segment.

Battery experts suggest that mass manufacturing of lithium polymer batteries could be much more cost effective than other lithium battery technologies.

Currently, Hyundai is already selling lithium polymer hybrids in South Korea.

Expect the Hyundai Sonata hybrid to hit the States in October of 2010.
