With the numbers theyre talking bout versus the price, no way. I can make a Geo Metro hit thos numbers for a 1/4 the price

0-6 in 3.9 secs? I would think it is a sports car, the only limitation I see is the range you can travel on a charge.
I am still waiting for a high performance hybrid...oh yeah!

Sportscars aren't defined solely on their acceleration numbers. It also has to be nimble. This car "looks" like it can do both, but looks can be deceiving.

Look at the other numbers tho. Top speed. 125 mph. Kinda low for a car that expensive. 100K i couldnt part with that for what theyre showing. I havnt found any other specs on it so i cant tell how well it handles. I cant find gear ratio's or anything like that either. Guess we'll have to wait n see

True but you dont even need a steering wheel to make a prius turn just stick your hand out the window.
