Where there any cool new HYBRID models that debuted? Most usually end up looking like shit. It would be cool to see how GM's new ZEV (zero emission vehicle) initiative pans out designwise.

I'm going Saturday. hope this year is better that last.

I'd like the new Tesla Roadster from http://www.teslamotors.com/

 

[ConceptualMind]

I'm so fucking stoked. I'm going this Sunday.

I need to see the new Evo X. I've been creaming my pants nonstop since I saw the unveiling via live webcast.

I remember in like 1994(not sure which year). 50% of the showroom was electric cars. Anyone else remember that?

 

[Deliguy]

That is PIMP! I hope it becomes a huge commercial success. 1cent per mile (avg). 250 miles per charge. You travel 250 miles and spend only $2.50. :bowdown::bowdown: Zero emission.

Of course, the haterz would say that thse vehicles just DISPLACE the pollution from the car to the power stations that have to burn coal or fossil fuel to generate electricity..... Gotta start somewhere though.... plus there's many different sources of energy to turn power station turbines asides from nonrenewable and polluting sources.

That jag is pretty bad (as in good)

 

[psytek]

Yea the jag has got some killer looks and the Toyota seems to be one bad-ass machine. Like it.

Zero emission.

when the mechanic stuck the emission probe into the pipe of my LPG car back in 1981, the needle didn't register anything, and it went on the report as a Zero emission, whatever that meant.

 

[Polyphonic]

Interesting thing about the Jag is that I think it'll only do well in the US and definitely not over here in the UK or Europe.

It's too...I dunno, 'cool', I guess. The Jag market is here caters more or less exclusively for older men and this new prototype isn't stately enough. I like it but my Dad (S-Type driver) really won't, I can just see it.

Interesting move from Jaguar, it really is.

The back is too boxy:

 

[pfgannon]

True it is really boxy, but I don't think it takes away from the car at all.
Difference of opinions.

 

[psytek]

Yea the rear seems to be a little boxy but I think that look goes with the car and its concept, I like that styling.
