a place where turbos shine. Now try Prius from 60 to 80. They are a gutless wonder and the engine sounds like it's going to explode. I know it's an Atkinson-cycle engine which isn't really amenable for a turbo,, but consider a small normal turbo motor (1.1 to 1.5 liter) in a hybrid system. It might make for a fairly pleasant car that's more than an econobox.
A small turbo diesel in a hybrid is something I've thought about, too. Adds weight, but the longevity and fuel economy of a diesel might make an interesting combo.
