First hybrid vehicle that really makes sense to me

A Mini with electric motors at each wheel. 65-80mpg, plug-in capable, 640hp! I do worry what all of that extra weight (especially the unsprung electric motors at the wheels!) will do to handling. And what the cost of such a car would be. But here at last is some of the promise of a hybrid automobile, a real departure from the norm.
