C'mon guys, "Priapus"? 
But at the end of the day, hybrids are definitely the future. It might not be in 10 years or 20 years, but at some point we're going to run out of affordable oil and we're going to have to get cheaper power. I can't wait till we start seeing some hybrid sports cars - there must be awesome shit to do with the torque from electric engines... I don't think this is it, though. I think ae86drift is right, we'll probably see a hybridized version of the Celica (90% similar body) before anything else. Though i dunno how long that'll be... so far the only non-stupid-looking hybrid has been the 4-door Civic, which looks shit anyway. Blah.
