I've always been a Golf fan the R-Series are supreme cars, a lot of the performance end Euro cars stack up well, I even had a toss up between an R-Series Arteon and a 3.0 L 407 (Renault Engine) a few years back, both around 230kW(300bhp). Pity they are both about 2000kg.
But I've got to say, you need a lot of combustion engine to match the torque these new hybrids can deliver. I've driven a few hybrids recently and I'm shocked by the get up and go they have given the low fuel consumption, I can't see any option for the likes of Golf or Renault but to head down that hybrid road.
Some of the Tesla cars run 9 second qtr miles, they aren't hanging around.
