The IS-F? A Sports Sedan? Rofl. Not even in the same league as the M5, RS4, or AMG Anything.
Like I said, when Toyota finds their balls, come get me.
And as far as hybrid Mazdas go, or for that matter hybrid anything goes, who gives a shit? There are two reasons hybrids get better fuel economy than their gas equivalents:
1: Stopping the engine at a stop (whups, unless you want a/c)
2: Regenerative braking.
That's it! "Hybrid Technology" is a buzzword with a limited application, (that, sadly, we'll probably see in most all cars, see Chevy's "hybrid")especially at the current price. (See: waste of money lexus hybrids, and Honda realizing the Hybrid Accord wasn't worth a shit either.)
Sorry, again, I don't see what the big deal is. I don't care how many automotive toasters Toyota has sold without a sports car. I don't care how much money they've made, or what kind of markets they lead. That Does Not Matter To Me. In my opinion, they are soulless bastards in the same league as Kia, only a little more painful because I remember what they used to be.
