With oil prices so low, it seems like an odd time for 2 automakers to be getting into an MPG battle, but these things were underway well before that happened.

But I agree, it sure is nice to see someone challenging the Prius.

I wonder if Hyundai will go with lithium and give the pack a lifetime warranty like they did with the Sonata hybrid.
