I agree.

I recognize the Prius for what it is and the market it caters too. Same goes for the Escape Hybrid. As an automobile, I think it has value.

However...I'm an asshole. I prefer purity in my cars. I'd rather an old Miata than new GT-r. I'd rather a manual transmission over a "faster" DSG or automatic. I'd trade pure grip for communicative steering and chassis.

I'd do not want to drive a video game. I want something with gears controlled by man and a powerplant the relies on explosions.
