i dont think HSD will ever grace a BMW, but i do believe that toyota's early adoption of hybrids has lead them to hoard a bunch of key patents. for example ford has to pay toyota licensing fees of some sort, in order to use their HSD based hybrid system.

off topic: Speaking of hybrids, FHI is producing lithium hybrid supercapacitors, and I have this hunch Subaru might be the first to bring out ultracapacitor based hybrids. Hybrids whose batteries don't wear out after a few years!

well being that toyota owns part of FHI, and the TS030 uses supercapacitors, im sure toyota will be the first...
