If you need more info look up hypercars. RMI figured this stuff out a decade ago. Please spare us by skipping the ugly hybrids and go straight to the evolution of the hypercars. Amen.

Electric cars in mass production will NEVER happen as long as there is a gallon of oil left to squeeze a dollar out of. Look at every fully electric car ever built by a major manufacturer and they all look like shit. The reason is that they don't want an electric car to sell. If they did we'd get more like the
Tesla.
And what is all this fuss about "great" mpg with a hybrid? Since when is 40-45 MPG worth driving some horrid looking excuse for an automobile? I had an 83 Tercel that got 40 MPG. I had a 90 CRX that got 40-45 MPG. I have a 94 Sol that gets 40+ MPG when I drive it responsibly. So if 40 MPG was possible in 1983 with an ALL gasoline platform, why is 45 MPG in 2008 with a Hybrid a big deal? It's not, get a clue people. Every one of these fools that buys a hybrid because they think they're helping the environment is an idiot. The only thing buying some hideous piece of garbage that gets the same gas mileage as an 83 Toyota proves is that you're moron. Don't buy the Hypebrids, make them realize that when it comes to electric and zero emissions it's ALL or NOTHING.
