@crazymanpictures13 This is quite impossible bud. Why? Because when you regen with an electric motor, you have to give it a lot of energy (torque) so it can turn and then capture energy. But putting electric generators in each wheels and forcing them to regen while you are driving would be a total waste of energy. You want energy to drive.

BUT, making in-wheel electric motors=AWD EV (it exist) is terrible. Because you rengen directly in the 4 wheels, not in only 2 wheels behind a transmission.

@Audiolaboratory How can you swallow someone who isn't even born? If you're going to insult someone at least ensure it makes sense, otherwise you're just insulting yourself by appearing stupid.

@Beast9156 if this is your every day crusier and you dont commute more than 35-40 miles a day which cost $1.35 the whole mpg way of thinking goes out the window the mpg thing only factors in after that you run out of battey power.most people dont drive more than 20 mi a day never the less 40.so effectively your transportation cost are almost nonexistant.however since your initial cost on the cruze are probably less than half of its hybrid sister the volt.you are ahead considering overall cost

that guy in the front passenger is a douche!

[kyschaef]

Is anyone else noticing that the guy in the passenger seat is kind of a dick?

@RapeYoFace

I find it hard to buy American when they make shitty cars like this. 16 mpg?

[danielcrawford1991]

Wait so the brakes cancel the engine torque?... That's the end of drifting and burnouts then and anything else that makes driving FUN for that matter :/
