Default 2011 Nissan 370z Hybrid???

Looks like it may be a possibility for 2011!!! 30 mpg doesn't really seem worth it to me. I had a 2007 and I averaged about 28 mpg mixed city and highway.

..I love hearing the Nissan VQ's roar. I'm definitely a fan of hybrids, but I'm not sure it would work for me in a car like the Z..

it works in the Porsche. People get the wrong idea thinking hybrid sports cars will be faster versions of the prius, that's just wrong. The hybrid power will just be a boost in the power and fuel economy. Weight will probably be a bit more, but you have to start somewhere.

Heh I guess it can't be helped.......but hey, if I were to choose, I'd rather get a hybrid petrol/gasoline sports car over a diesel sports car any day.

Well alright, you want diesel sports cars, fine be my guest. However, all I have to say is this: Enjoy your "REVLESS" sports cars

The car will be operable as a fully electric model, have plug-in capability and be able to work in tandem with the gasoline motor to increase fuel economy by up to 50%.

hummm....I don't see anything wrong increasing MPG by 50% while getting more power (along with more weight).
