The electric motor’s torque gives the M35h considerable acceleration power, and if you’re willing to sacrifice a few squirts of fuel, it feels similar to a V8 if you put your foot firmly down on the long pedal.

I believe the term is "loud pedal".  ::)

This car is just nice. I like the layout and is supposed to be dead reliable as well. However is a little expensive for my budget. Will wait and buy it as a second hand car.

I'd guess Jil meant what she wrote, actually. After all, the gas pedal is typically long and narrow, unlike the typically short-and-wide brake and clutch pedals.

About the only hybrid I'd consider owning (though priced comfortably beyond my usul fare).

Well written review about a superior automobile. Like a few of the other bloggers, the Infiniti M35 is out of my snack bracket. However, a gently used one coming off lease just might be the answer.
