smaller maybe but lighter? Those hybrid batteries can get heavy. Look at the weight difference between the regular civic sedan and the hybrid civic sedan

I agree ft86 will be where its at, if they can just keep the dealers from jacking up the price like hyundai and chevy dealers did with the new sports cars. I had a dealer try to sell me a v6 camaro for 30k that was only a BASE trim camaro and to top it off, he wouldnt even let me test drive it. He ran my numbers and was like oh hey, you can actually afford this, and then I asked so can I test drive it? He then proceeded to tell me about the fuel economy while I sat there and smelled the strong glue smell that holds the trim work together. That dealership is now closed, I can only wait till someone buys the building and sells toyotas or hondas just to spit in their faces :) .....boy thats harsh, but oh well
