Agree, since the start of 2017 I've seen more hybrids than ever. Even more then the Sonatas few years back.
But we're talking about rental cars and as far as I know National or anybody else doesn't order the fusion in the sport trim so this talk is moot. I was also just talking about the ecoboost i4 by itself and not comparing it to a V6 or anything else. With its 245 horsepower and 250+ torque pulling a Ford fusion it's decently fast for what it is.
