World's fastest hybrid

From Lexus published stats the 2013 GS450h would not be a contender for world's fastest hybrid. Which to me is disappointing because the previous GS450h was the world's fastest hybrid when it was launched.

You are right, the GSh was the fastest for years and it took years for Infiniti to beat it. This time Lexus took a different approach.The new GSh may not be the fastest hybrid, but it handles better and gets better mpg. Personally I care more about handling and how the car respond rathen than its 0-60 numbers. If I'm not mistaken 2013 GSh is not that far behind either? its still a pretty fast hybrid...
It was obvious that this time Lexus did not want to create a rocket that can only beat 0-60 times, they wanted to build a car that people will enjoy driving. They even dropped the V8 option

What they (Lexus) needs to build is an GS-F .. something that will compete against the M5, M3, and CTS-V. I gotta believe that would sell ?!
After all, Cadillac seems to not have any problem moving their $73K 556HP car.

so that being said, awful sales of 55 units in January make sense.

Congrats to Infiniti to stepping up the M to include a hybrid variant. More competition is better for the people. Lexus is the first to bring to market a mid-level performance hybrid and now Infiniti has followed Lexus. Who's next?
