The newly-arrived April 2005 issue of Wired has an article on Toyota's hybrids, as well as reviews of the current offerings from Toyota, Honda, Lexus, etc. But I want a cool hybrid. I can't afford a Venturi Fétish (and the name brings to mind pervy physics profs and their kinky Bernoulli principles). I like the mini-Miata (ibuki ibuki ibuki), but I love the Subaru B9 Scrambler. This was a concept car in Fall 2003, and Googling only brings up this monstrosity (which isn't even a hybrid!).
My message to the automakers, especially Subaru: Bring on the cute roadster hybrids! I'm ready, and I've got my checkbook out. (All-wheel drive makes it even better.)

Well, I still have my Miata, but the ibuki would be tempting. The Subaru might be a little too "sports-car" and not enough "roadster" for me.

For your next car, why don't you custom build what you want or do a conversion?
