The GS450h is a lot more pleasing to drive in stop and go traffic and on the highway as the torque from the electric motor is immediate,making merging,overtaking and just cruising a lot more effortless.

So basically the day to day daily driver experience should be less stressful and effortless in the hybrid. The only time it may lose out is on the winding mountain roads and track due to the increased weight of the hybrid batteries and drivetrain.
Yes. When the hybrid battery runs out of charge during hard driving the car is handicapped significantly, as I have experienced. This is the downside of the so called boost from the hybrid system, where you can use up more battery power than you have chance to charge it up.
