Pshaw! 0-60 in 7.3 sec? That should be 0.7 sec! Needs larger electric motors.

0-60mph in 7.3 s, and 28mpg sounds ok, but not really anything special. I wouldn't have thought they'd need a hybrid to do get that sort of mpg.

So, 299 horsepower and only 0-60mph in 7.3sec.? Seems they could've done better than that, even if it is a luxury sedan.

They say there's not a weight penalty for their batteries, but if the accel is that slow for that hp level, what's this thing actually weigh??

28mpg is terrible- Im guessing the average American car is much less economical than the average UK car, sinse we pay so much more for fuel in the way of taxes etc. The average diesel will happily do nearly twice that mpg rating- mercedes seem to have found a brilliant new technology and squandered its potential by sticking it in an overweight lump of a car....
