I would much rather see Nissan incorporating their hybrid technology into their lineup in a way that doesn't sacrifice to much on the performance end. If only we had better battiers and recharge methods...
once tesla's patent on supercaps in cars either dies or gets licensed, we will see a huge jump in performance of electric cars. Batteries have nothing on supercaps.
