Pre-production (painted black). This car was one of the 3 test mules that showed up to our Cadillac road course event.

prius? who the bloody hell wants a prius and why are we even talking about priuses here? prius is the bubbles in the toilet when I piss. cute in a funny way, but useless.

Cant buy a Z06 because it doesnt have backseats for my new son, but THIS is perfect. Z06 + Sedan = 09 CTS-V. Finally, a replacement for my 300C SRT8.

@punkt71 nice tell me u got a manuel transmission.

[gman18766]

@punkt71 this is a zr1 + sedan, the LSA engine is the same as the LS9 zr1 v8, except a diff blower

Time 2 trade in my 300c srt8 !

@straightedge442 Seems I didn't get the notification of the reply. No, 15 mph on batteries is not an ample indication of progress. But, that's a straw man argument. That's not how the Prius changed the game. I already explained that in previous replies.

@TheFerruccio what submarines use batteries, everyone that i ever worked on was nuclear

@straightedge442 You're putting words in my mouth by assuming that I think we should never do it. Are you saying that people shouldn't get excellent fuel economy, unless the car demonstrates technological or moral progress? What battery technology would be satisfactory to you? Do you think 300 mile range battery powered vehicles that meet today's safety standards were feasible in the 1940s? Where do you draw the line between cop-out and "demonstrates technical or moral progress."?

[straightedge442]

@TheFerruccio So you're saying that because it is slightly more difficult, we could never do it? Like I said, this was feasible in the '40s. The Prius is a cop-out of demonstrating technological, or even moral progress.

@straightedge442 Mind you, I love electric power, and it's certainly the future. The Prius is definitely not an EV like a Tesla Roadster or Model S, or a hybrid locomotive-style of power transfer like the Volt, but it is still very fuel efficient, and it is revolutionary in that it has brought such a fuel efficiency to a massive market. I'm a Prius fan in principle, but I can't see myself owning one. I've got to have my performance.

@straightedge442 Lithium Ion batteries suffer from excessive waste heat when being drained. Locomotives and submarines don't have to be extremely lightweight, having to deal with the input of turns on demand, or emergency braking. Submarines have the advantage of buoyancy, and Locomotives have massive amounts of momentum that is best suited for tracks.
