If the VW or whatever other brand was as hot as your claiming it to be, the VW would be on top.

Tell me: what mileage does the VW diesel get in stop and go traffic that stretches for miles?

Oh and one last thing: I think you’ve been talking about a SERIES hybrid, where a gas/diesel generator charges a battery, which then powers an electric motor.

The vehicle can drive on electric only, but can’t drive with only gas power, as it must be converted to battery power first.

For example, the tesla roadster produces only 273 lb-ft (369.72Nm) of torque, and it already costs over 100k! Your saying that your electric motors produce an order of magnitude more torque. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. But, what exactly is going to power these electric motors? And how much is it going to cost compared to a hybrid?
