I disagree. Research carbon fiber composites, check out the Rocky Mountain Institute, they have said that ORDINARY cars manufactured with ultra-sturdy (more rigid than titanium), ultra-light, carbon fiber could upwards of 100+ MPG.
YUCK!! These types of vehicles are the same crap that is gonna be shoved at us in response to the economy/bailouts (ex: GM). Forget this crap, give me my V8. Let me burn my gas as I want to. Lawnmowers with wheels SUCK! American muscle, while expensive, IS FUN!
I've got a Ural 4320 11ltr Diesel that smokes like a bastard but it sounds great when I take it down to Glasgow. It's a bugger to find a big enough parking space, though.
"this is about as efficient as a hybrid can get"

*as efficient as a conventional gasoline/electric hybrid can get. Speaking of huge shifts, did you see the Fisker booth?

the 20101 Prius? That's a very long wait...but that's probably how long it will take me to save up for one. (sorry Hank, I had to.)

How long will it be until we can see some hydrogen fueled cars on the road? i certainly haven't seen any concept cars for that.

Watching this made me curious...
At an event like this, are you still strange for talking to your camera in such a way, or are there more people doing things like this?
I'd think that there would be people with cameramen, maybe... don't know how many people would be holding their cameras out in front of them.
