i've been wanting to see a Hybrid performance car. i mean the Prius gets a fair about of torque out of that electric engine... plus you could still get the tax break, right? :D

i'd like to see what a CVT does in one too

the prius is really only worth a crap if you do city driving though, as are most of the hybrids. If you're doing highway driving, well, my v-6 gets almost the same gas mileage on a long distance highway drive

I'd have sex with Yermom to own that thing.

Hell, I'd be fine driving this electric car:

Yeah, but you're a well-documented dirty hippie.

They tested the Tesla thing on Top Gear. It hauls ***.

It's a bit tough to come up with the $111,000 for a Tesla, but they do have an easy lease program for $1658 per month. (http://www.wired.com/autopia/2010/02/lease-a-tesla/)

the sedan is a little more reasonable, i think ;)

i'm not sure why they didn't do something lower on the scale though... you know, something people might buy

although, they probably don't have much production capacity at the moment anyway

I have zero interest in an electric car regardless of the marque or the performance numbers. Part of the great thing about a high performance car is the sound and feel of the engine.

I just bought a car with a big V8 and I wouldn't trade the subtle growl it makes at cruising speed for a hybrid anything.

Green? NO

Lime green? HELL NO! Not even a Ferrari.

I would love to have a performance car that made almost no noise... it would feel like driving the future! Of course, I do love the rumble of my dad's 67 GTO...
