The Hybrid angle might be a good way to freshen up the concept while staying in the niche. Some of the benefits might be more acceleration from the same HP due to electric assist. Also better fuel mileage for lower fuel cost. The fact that it would also attract buyers from outside of the gear-head world by appealing to tree-huggers would not hurt.

If they want me to buy another one, it would have to go to a conventional L4 or V6 engine.
