Most likely.

Besides, why would anyone get excited about this? It is not a Cayman, it is a bloody hybrid made for city driving. Just because it has the tiny electric engine in the middle, do you guys expect it to be fast? It is designed to be economical. I bet it has stupid low grip eco tires on it.
