Brett, if you like it buy it, we all have opinions based on knowledge/experience and/or ignorance.

I must say I am not a fan of "Hybrid" technology but some friends have them and most like them but they take some getting used to. My family is all BMW so I don't have a dog in this fight but time will tell if this technology is anything great.

Good luck with your search and decision.
 

thanks Jeff.
I must say, I am a huge fan of german cars. the germans make cars for their autobahns and u can sit on 180 or 200 all day, so its no surprise they build excellent motors, gearboxes n drive-lines. I am a sucker for mercedes benz cause its a little more conservative, but BMW definately make the best euro sports cars for sure.  driven a few, and they are real drivers cars. thats when u dont care about petrol at all, but having said that, the euro cars are very efficient already. beautiful cars.
