Bloomburg reports of a crash effort at GM to build a prototype plug in 
hybrid by Jan 2007 with production starting near the end of 2007.

It will be interesting to see if they succeed or if this will be a half 
try like the "slap on a bigger starter" mild hybrid Silverado.  On the 
plus side this is likely to spur Toyota to release a plug in, and with 
Toyota's leg up in technology they should be able to do it much sooner.
