Since it is mentioned that the FT-HS hybrid sports concept car will attract young buyers. Will it be at a young buyers price or are we just going to see old men casually babying the gas pedal in the left lane of a four lane highway?

The hybrids really look good. Even though the full electric ones are better technologically speaking, its good to see companies like these moving in the right direction.
