Is the target consumer for the 7 series really looking for a hybrid? Wouldn't it make more sense to stick it in a 3 series?
Still good to see a step in a more economical direction. (Even if by principle I don't like most current hybrids, this one keeps the V8, so it passes in my book.)
@wrx-tyrannosaurusWrx: Well, in places like London there are massive tax-breaks for big hybrids. This monster classes as a low emmissions vehile, so pays lower road tax and is exempt from the London congestion charge. In cities, which is where most of these end up, they make a whole bucket-o-sense.
