It's certainly not something I want and probably overweight and

Laugh all you want, but a lot of us have been waiting for hybrid and
plug-in hybrid and electric versions of off-road vehicles. I am very
excited about the Wrangler plug-in hybrid offerings and am excited to see
the electric Hummer offering. I hope it's a legit off-road vehicle.
