I dunno about you guys but on paper this sounds pretty damn incredible, with highest power output in hybrid class,

If promised 30 mpg city would make it highest as well.

If they deliver on the interior room, that makes it another class leader.

Weight close to lowest in class.

Best SH^2-AWD hybrid setup

and you can bet a fairly competitive price.

I see good things in store for this car. If we were to take the subjective styling debate out the window, everything as presented today makes this a VERY, VERY compelling package.
