Not sure I agree with that. I don't think you realize how many cars have switched over to hybrid powertrains, but are not advertised as a main selling point like the Prius or Volt. Volvo's entire lineup is now hybrid or electric along with their new performance brand Polestar. Mercedes is switching over to hybrid powertrains even on their AMG models. Audi's using hybrid powertrains even on their highest performance models like the RS6 and their ultra luxury vehicles like the A8. Hybrid technology is great for sports cars and offers many advantages over fully electric, most importantly being the weight savings.


It definitely feels like you get some free low end torque in a hybrid as well.
