I guess that was wishful thinking on Toyota's part.
I would take 30mpg with those numbers. The HS has a lot of nifty details that would be great in a production sports car. The worlds first REAL hybrid sports car in fact. Could be real innovative... ultra-capacitors... KERS type push to pass button... possibilities are endless.

Would kill for that trick roof and awesome rim design too, CF or not.
