Dude, what the hell ever. See the post below yours with a certain P-car. It's the technology, not the platform.

That's your prerogative. Thing is, even the 'vette will be a hybrid sooner rather than later. Why else is Chevy totally moving to a mid-engine layout by 2021 that will alienate the vast majority of 'vette fanboys?

Think about it. Don't knee-jerk. THINK about it.

Red Bread : OK: That weight's a stretch; I grant you that. Even at, say, 3,400lbs (I doubt a car that small will even approach 4k pounds under Tada, even with a hybrid powertrain. Even the Prius weighs just 3k pounds with all 'dem batteries), a GR Supra hybrid could be massively quick.
