That's a good call... however, I've read in a lot of reviews that when put in the Rx330H, the hybrid system really is not that much more economical. However, as long as it reduces pollution, then it's progress.
I personally (IMO!) don't think that the RS4 deserves to win it. It brings new performance, but there's not much in terms of huge technological leaps. I read somewhere that someone is developping a hybrid-diesel engine (did I read it here? I don't remember actually, if someone could clear that up, that would be appreciated), so that might definitely get my vote.
