		<description>I know it&#039;s a &quot;sports car&quot; and all, but I doubt this car was to be pitted with Evo-class cars. I mean they said it right there in plain Arial font print that &quot;this hybrid sports coupe is set to compete directly with Honda’s new CR-Z.&quot; I doubt the CR-Z can match or even come close to an Evo&#039;s numbers so why is it even being referenced? 

4Kbeast: Thanks for the warranty info.</description>

		<description>Really, $4,000 to replace a hybrid battery? We just looked up a replacement battery for 1st and 2nd gen Prius and they range from $2,100 to $2,400 here in the States. 

Besides that, in California emissions states you get a 10-year/150k mi warranty on the battery. Even if you aren&#039;t in a California emissions state, you get a 8-year/100k mi warranty.</description>

		<description>Hmm ..... I would be interested in seeing the top of the line O86A come with the option of a Hybrid. With just a 2.0 litre engine and FR config, the Hybrid system could help get it really moving and make it more fun for those who can afford the extra cost of the Hybrid.</description>

		<description>@ lonephantom : i beg to differ, evo X FQ400 got 403bhp and 0-62 is 3.8s

shouldn&#039;t sport car standard to improve by now? i hope they do beat that FQ400. maybe it&#039;s a bit pricey, but it&#039;s a sport car (more performance mean more money goes out of pocket). hope that toyota try something out of ordinary with their hybrid engine. this concept is on my watchlist...</description>

		<description>Well all I can say is if it looks somewhat like those renders, and can go from 0 - 100km/h in 8.5sec or less, and handles nicely then it could be a nice little eco-sports car.</description>

		<description>well, many said hybrid engine evolve faster even person like me can&#039;t plant a general idea about it. i do agree on that, there is talk also about hybrid give more quicker acceleration and mpg.

i don&#039;t mean to be negative about this issue, but do any motoring company that try to compare one hybrid car and another normal petrol head car? so far only honda bring out both engine for civic. the question is was the performance wise same for both car? for urban use, yeah, hybrid score is unbelievably good, for total comparison? for me rather than they announce that new nsx will use hybrid engine, it&#039;s better they develop that engine until it run head to head with other petrol head engine. i mean for sure those ferrari, lambo, pagani, and many more take notice about hybrid tech, but even this year they still bring out those petrol gluttony engine. doesn&#039;t this mean that they not sure whether hybrid engine is good enough to wear their badge, and continue to research until hybrid engine fulfill their expectation? 

in fact, i don&#039;t mind hybrid engine at all, i mean for urban use it&#039;s more than welcome. i also accept k-car because for me, it&#039;s suitable for urban use. but k-car also has good performance wise since it&#039;s power to weight ratio is good. do hybrid car is the same?

how about we goes like this. the moment someone bring out hybrid engine for sports car using new badge and beat it&#039;s class for good, i don&#039;t mind those motoring company using old badge for their new hybrid sport car.</description>

		<description>K&#039;: Good points on how hybrid tech isn&#039;t just an &quot;eco&quot; issue but an overall step ahead in automobile tech. Don&#039;t get me wrong, I love combustion engines and a part of me would hate to see them disappear, but as far as performance goes I don&#039;t think HV or EV tech will disappoint as much as people think it will. Well not for cars like the FT-HS or new Honda super hybrid sports. (NSX?) I look forward to what Toyota, Honda etc come up with.</description>

		<description>Scarlet Pimpernel: With the improvement of battery tech and the increased uptake of hybrids (and EVs)the prices will come down... not sure how much but $500 for a clip-in replacement batt that anyone can do sounds good. Toyota are you reading this??? :)</description>

		<description>one last thing: if the price of re battery can come down to $500 and it is easy to replace (within 15 minutes) and availability is around the world than its worth it.</description>

		<description>MESSAGE TO EVERYONE:  The replacement price for the avergage hybrid battery and programed computer alone can cost OVER $ 4,000 US dollars.... Figure that into your fifth year of ownership - it is NOT covered by the warranty.  Hybrid technology is by a long term and well tested technology. We are the guinea pigs !  Mileage is good, but can you imagine going for a check up in your 4th year of ownership and be told that the battery and computer are dead and the prixe of the replavement parts are $ 4000 and the labour is $ 1800 plus tax ??? !!!  What a bloody scam hybrids are....!</description>
