Do I think it is the best thing ever? No.
Do I like it? Yes (I've driven one and do like it)

That V-12 from the Century, isn't that the powerplant in the "Top Secret Supra"? That thing would have been AWESOME in the Lexus, but not for FE, of course. I just think that if you are going to make a hybrid, don't 'waste' the technology on something like a luxury car. That's what a luxury car is for, "driving in excess", "Luxury: a material object, service, etc., conducive to sumptuous living, usually a delicacy, elegance, or refinement of living
rather than a necessity".
