Everybody is jumping on the hybrid wagon. I get it for 20k cars but not in a supercar. Can anyone tell me the advantage of a hybrid supercar? And please dont tell me its good on gas. You dont buy a 200k car to save on gas. Maybe its the look at me im not an asshole with my supercar, i am a green and enviormental person image!! Personally i rather be an asshole, plus i dont want to recharge my supercar. Lol

I don't know about everyone else but I've had it with these alphanumeric names, and acronyms? How lame have we become as a society where we're just spitting numbers and letters at each other. I prefer how Ferrari names their cars, for example the 458 Italia. That tells me almost everything I need to know about that car so that I can decide whether to further investigate or not. "i8"? Well how about "ifell asleep reading your lame ass badge as I was behind you in traffic"? This is a cool looking car it deserves a better name.
