Hybrids are not my cup of tea, and the only hybrid I would ever consider to buy (Peugeot 508 Hybrid4) is not legal in my country, but I think the Koenigsegg Regera sounds promising

What about the Chevy Tahoe and Silverado hybrids with a 6.0L when the Silverado could be had with a 4.8L and the Tahoe with a 5.3L?

And what about the 1.6L Ecoboost in the current Ford Fusion (or even further, the 1.0L 3-cyl Ecoboost in its European equivalent, the Mondeo) while the hybrid relies on a 2.0L naturally-aspirated engine?
