Hum, don't like the idea of a hybrid powertrain... Adds weight and batteries degrade anyway! Not so good for this type of vehicle.

Hybrid = off-the-line torque.
A light car (let's say ~2600lbs, given that the mid-size, five-seat Prius is ~2900lbs) that uses the hybrid powertrain to supply 250-300ft/lbs of torque at **0rpm** to offset the traditionally weak small-displacement Honda engine sounds good to me.
