I'm all for it, and if I could afford it I would jump on an AWD GS430h (or is it 500h?). I just think there are some purists out there who would love to still be able to get their hands dirty in their own cars and not have to become acquainted with the hybrid system. Also there are probably people who wouldn't feel that a $3k price hike is justified if they don't have an option.

That being said, if the Prius is any indication of what kind of torque can be made by hybrids, I can't wait to see a GS with something like 400 lb ft of torque!
