Depends on what your definition of unaffordable is. I personally don't like the idea of my cash going to fund regimes that are hostile to the enlightenment, public agnosticism, and women wearing pants. I mean, even without the whole global warming issue and, ye gods, the *stench*.
A Tesla Roadster is the same price as a 911 turbo, although the 911 has better pickup. If you want a halfway solution, buy a Volt - they'll be affordable, and I figure in another 8 years or so, you probably won't even hear the term 'hybrid' anymore, because everything'll be hybrid.
