The funny thing is both the Accord Hybrid and Volt have quicker acceleration, at least twice as many seats, and deliver at least the same fuel economy. Handling and small size are about all the CR-Z has going for it.
Batteries are probably the biggest limitation for most hybrids. My Prius' battery can only output about 20kw, while the motor (motors? not sure if it's one or both) is rated at 50kw.
Ford is working on a Mustang Hybrid. It'll be interesting to see what kind of performance it'll have, both speed and efficiency.
