This only backs up my point. You're judging them as if they were traditional hybrids, built with the aim of increasing economy, rather than the aim of extracting as much raw performance from the technology as possible. Of course they would run out of charge if you ran them in electric only mode for 10 miles, but who spends a million quid on a car like this to drive like that aside from to try it out once or twice?
When McLaren start boasting about the battery range of the P1 like its some sort of practical selling point, then you can start equating them to a Prius. Until then, it remains a silly comparison to draw.
Oh, and all your points about the cars being nothing but investments or garage queens are hardly fair criticisms of the "holy trinity" given that it's not a phenomenon limited to hybrid cars (911R anyone?). And the fact that they are easier to drive than their more analogue predecessors makes it more likely that they're limits can be explored by some buyers. But even if not, the "too easy to drive" criticism could be leveled at any modern hyper car, regardless of its power train...and as Kenai said, who are you to say that what you want from a hyper car is in any way the same as what the people who are actually buying these cars want?
