I dunno what's up with the hybrid idea, the autoweek article says the next RL will have 300 hp without any sort of hybrid drivetrain. The article you posted jaje quotes AutoSpies as their source. The standard drivetrain seems more likely to me since the TL already has 270 hp; it wouldn't be too hard for Honda to produce a motor with more displacement that puts out 30 more hp without the aid of any hybrid gadgets.
