Answer 1

But did you buy one? Nor did I.

Answer 2

I bet it wasn't there because the manufacturer didn't decide to show it.

The Chinese company BYD did show their plug-in hybrid, though (http://www.greencarcongress.com/2008/01/... ).  I guess that means the Chinese are pushing just a bit harder than the Indians.
