Rofl! What a guy! A couple days ago a dude in a white Lamborghini complimented me on my car. It was really nice. She gets a lot of attention, that's for sure, but the guy you met is just a clown lol

I wouldn't be insulted if someone asked if my car is a hybrid. Have you guys seen the Tesla and Porsche electric/hybrid?

You should have said "Actually, its 100% electric!" as you were pumping the gas into the car.

Nissan is seriously considering making a 370Z hybrid.

I bought a Honda Civic Hybrid logo from Honda and put it on the back of my 2006 H2. Started many conversations and caused problems for the HUMMER dealer here. My truck was at the dealer for service for several days and apparently the salespeople started throwing fits because no one had told them about the H2 Hybrid. People also started calling and asking about the H2 Hybrid they had seen.

Also caused problems for the Nissan dealership when I traded it. Sales Manager finally came and asked me about it because they could not verify it with any dealerships.

Lots of fun...

Actually a 370z hybrid would be amazing. The electric motor would add a lot of torque to the power band which is what this engine is lacking.

Edit: Plus you would get a tax credit!

A lot of members here cringe at that thought(a Z hybrid).
