Thanks for all of the thoughts opinions some really valid points aswell as some very shallow ones 🙂.. to be quite honest as hybrid owner of this model I personally was not overly worried about mpg but saw it as a bonus.. but more importantly I was intrigued by the sophistication of the technology and how the powertrain comes together as a daily vehicle. When I'm driving the car in different circumstances I find it fascinating how the hybrid has so many different personalities between the 4 speed box, the assistance of the motor at low speeds as well as flat out... I really think the powertrain is highly underrated /underappreciated until you live with it.
Just so our v8 audience dont feel left out Yes v8 sounds awesome and has the je ne sais quoi that mass petrol head market is looking for and would still love to experience one as a daily ... maybe one day 🙂
