  • Just think, without those heavy batteries and that heavy electric motor you could be doing 70mpg, like the rest of us, Prius rant aside:

    Sounds intriguing, but I hope you realise you just a big sign up: "OIE! FATE! This one today!"

  • Mmm, so which car is it that does 70 mpg? With 5 doors, 5 seats, plenty of leg room? The petro-chemical industries are doing their damnedest to keep us using their products and fund journalists to diss hybrids. There are loads of things wrong with hybrids, I'd be the first to admit it, but it's just one tiny step away from oil reliance and that really upsets some very powerful, very wealthy and most importantly very influential people.

  • A Prius without the hybrid kit would.

    Engine, motion.

    Engine, motion, electricity, motion.

    Adding steps reduces efficiency, especially if one of those steps is a battery - still immature technology.

    I don't like believing anything I see/hear/read, I go and read various studies and form my own opinion: The hottest year was 1998, oil extraction is about to go up, and the "environmental" movement is mostly an anti capitalist government/anti corporate movement in disguise.

  • A truly electric car is far more efficient, internal combustion engine uses close to half the potential energy it releases just running itself. It also doesn't need gears, an in wheel motor has no transmission, another massive waste of energy. I agree oil isn't going to run out, that's not the point, it is possible to generate electricity in a benign way, there is no way to burn oil in a benign way. I'm not an environmentalist, oil is so 20th century, internal combustion will go the way of steam

  • BREAKING NEWS: CNBC AND FOXBUSINESS ANCHORS ARRESTED FOR ILLEGALLY ACCESSING PRIVATE EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS.

  • Is this Alan Partridge ?

    What next, Monkey Tennis ?

  • Using the old lip stick cam are we???

  • One comment about screen size. (and I know I'll sound like I'm bashing, but honestly I'm not :P)

    When you mentioned about the larger screen size on your show, I couldn't help noticing how I was in full screen at the time. Naturally, this is larger than the normal little youtube box. Will your new show support full screen? I'd imagine so, I don't see any reason why not... But still.

  • You're thinking of the Suzuki Liana, which they used to use...

    It's a Chevvy Lacetti now.

  • Very cool

  • Rob, it's not knowing who you have in front or behind, it's the face that when you look at the camera, if the car infront emergncy brakes/stops, you will have probably lost at least 2 seconds woth of stopping distance

  • Google the Wrightspeed X1 - THAT's an electric car.
