Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!

If a hybrid version is released, it will be interesting to see by how much the 0 to 60 time improves.

If they really wanted to make it a cool and desirable hybrid, they'd junk that CVT idea (and any transmission), shrink the gas engine to around 60-80HP and bolt a high voltage DC generator to it. Then, bolt in a 150-200kW motor and a 30-40kW battery pack.

You'd have VERY respectable 0-60 performance, great economy, and the ability to run "all electric" for the majority of daily driving. You could still drive non-stop across the country (well, just stopping to refill the gas tank).
