Cars that get you all hot and bothered

so the correct me if im wrong, but the tesla is an electric elise right?

Yeah, a heavy-ass elise. My question tho is, a regular elise has a econbox engine on a chassis thats about one ton, shouldnt it get like a bajillion miles per gallon anyway? Thats what were awesome about civic hatches, no power, but they were light so they werent...well...horrendous as a geo. Its cool that it takes no gas at all, and I realize this is just a ploy to the rich, but why couldnt they make the elise a hybrid for the same weight uppage and get like 100mpg.
