Sounds like a plan. I am looking into Hybrids myself, maybe a Prius, so I can feel better about all the pollution I created from my last 4 rides

Possibly the Hybrid Supra if it ever becames reality.

Which is faster? Sorry. I had a M3 and now have C4S and they feel too different for me to tell...

The M3 is much more practical, but the C4S out handles it, out torques it, and is prettier... =)

I drove a couple of M3s, they are great cars but Ill take my C2 or a C4S over it anyday.
If you go on BM forums Im sure they would say the complete opposite.
good luck
