Lived in Japan for a couple of years on a military base? lol Give me a break. Let's talk hybrid sportscars under $27k that the average tuner joe can afford. I'm not buying into this hybrid crap. Make the econo-toy cars for the hippies and give the rest of use small displacement and turbos.

No lets not talk hybrid sports cars under $27k because we are not talking about low - mid market economy cars. for hybrids to truly take off i agree they have to be cheap and start at like $13k like Scions. But the Hybrid SportCom or even full fledged Sports car are not going to be cheap. But if Nissan really wants to push this it would definitely start a whole new trend of sports car or sport com with a hybrid option.

Expert? well, I don't think of my self as one but thanks.
No I just watch allot of discovery channel when it has anything to do with cars. I have been reading about electric drag cars since forever in Popular Science and Popular Mechanics. The difference between me and you is that I don't discredit something just because I don't think its worth while or do-able.
