Nissan 370Z Hybrid coming in 2011?
A full electric is one thing, but a hybrid has the worst of both worlds. Not only does it have to lug around a heavy battery pack, it also has to carry an engine. You're sports car would bloat out to 4000 pounds and handle like a Buick.

As battery cell technology improves full electric is going to be the way to go, but I don't see them getting there by 2016. Tesla has made great strides in this direction and it's only going to get better as batteries get lighter.
