What if you removed the weight of the hybrid system (battery, motor, controllers, etc)? How far off would the performance be? Are these car companies making cars solely to meet tax brake criteria written by some clueless douche elected by the collective group of clueless. I would have to say that if you go rid of the crap that doesn't belong on a performance car, the little 1.5 probably has enough power to provide just as much excitement.
