It looks like this could be the downfall of the luxury hybrid segment. Spending 50K and not getting good fe leaves a very bad impression.

Personally I think it was a huge mistake to try to market hybrids as "more power, less gas".

The power on the current models was plenty good enough. What was lacking was fuel economy, which hybridization was supposed to add. Focus on one feature, focusing on two was a disaster waiting to happen.
