Never said it was the 'first Porsche hybrid', now did I?

Dr. Porsche did some pretty cool stuff. The Cayenne, and now a potential hybrid has some people thinking the Porsche name is sullied or watered down... I don't really think that way. The 911 is still an awesome car, the Boxster and Cayman are both awesome, too!
