Replying to: pf_flyer (Mar 12, 2009 10:46 am) Absolutely. Just don't expect to sell many. They would have to be luxury vehicles to make a profit. Otherwise, you just end up with the Accord hybrid.   Actually, you might put most hybrids into this category (depending on how loos you want to make the definition of performance).
#80 of 80 Performance hybrid by wwu_vri Mar 12, 2009 (6:08 pm)
What about a hybrid that is projected to get 100+mpg highway, 125mph top speed, 0-60 in 8.1sec, the size and handling of a Miata, and requires no plug in. However it will not be cheap.   Is there a market for this type of car? Can this break the idea that performance and hybrids dont mix?
