I'm of the opinion that hybrids/EVs/Fuel Cell cars have their place. They are a fantastic option for commuter cars. I'm not convinced they belong on performance cars however. Would love to be proven wrong I suppose.
The FRS is light, as in the CRZ. The CR-Z is pretty light at mid to high 2600s. That was my only point.

If the FRS was a failure and Honda released a ~200hp CRZ I'd likely be in for a CRZ..
