Gas prices spike plans for Hyundai pickup

3. But they've confirmed production of hybrid vehicles...

I'm hoping they do make it to the North American market. We've had an Elantra wagon for the last 6 years and it's been a great car.

4. It would seem like the perfect marketing opportunity for a hybrid pickup!
