Remember when I posted about the brand-new Dodge Durango Hybrid? Of course you remember — it was only a month ago. I went to a local product launch event hosted by Chrysler and learned that the Durango Hybrid was eligible for a $2,200 tax credit.
If people want to take advantage of this huge hybrid and its substantial tax credit, it turns out they need to act fast. Chrysler announced that it’s closing the plant that builds the Durango Hybrid and its sibling the Chrysler Aspen. A mere 400 of hybrids had been built; according to the New York Times‘ calculations, that means a total of 800 may be built before the plant closes December 31.
When exactly did Chrysler make this annoucment? October 23 — three days after I posted about the Durango Hybrid and its tax break. This could go down in history as the shortest-lived model to ever hit production.
