    I was wondering how many Prius owners also own sportscars

    The technology in the Prius is quite impressive

    but I'm waiting for a sportier hybrid

    I don't own a sportscar. But I do own a Yamaha FZ1 motorcycle that will do about 180 mph, not that I'd ever go that fast! But if I feel the need for performance, I hop on the bike. It's faster than just about any car.

    hahaha... the game gets more and more realistic and the tracks more and more accurate that certain "tricks" I use no longer become useful (or even applicable) to the newer versions of the game. At least I say I can own several sports cars.. and even some Le Mans ones :p.


    Btw, wouldn't a CR-Z hybrid fit your bill of a sporty hybrid? (assuming that the GSh is either too expensive, heavy or luxurious)

    Does a motorbike count?
    Light, nimble and good power to weight.

    The CRZ is a bit homely

    I love Italian exotics & Vettes too

    Thats why I'm thinking of building my own solar/electric hybrid and cloaking it w a nice sexy Italian carbon fiber body like 1 of these

    I had a Vette once. A Chevette. Didn't love it too much though.

    I have a '1998 BMW 540iA, which I still drive once a week just to keep it running.
    The advanced technology in a Prius is fascinating to me as well as the driving dynamics of a well-balanced BMW.
