What a waste, just to appease the liberal tree hugging morons, everyone is putting out these outlanding EV's knowing full well all they are doing is trying to calm the militants from California. Logical improvments to motoring like HCCI, turbo-DI, etc all go to the wayside just to get the liberals off your ass with more regulation. what a crock of shit. EV's should be in laboratories and mule-cars, for R&D. Bringing them as glitzy attention getters is just a means to detract attention from the PRius/Insight (which is a good thing, but not to this extent). Its a shame that building cars is more about public perception amongst idiot liberal-environmentalists than buildling logical cars demanded by the market. God only knows what the communists (Pelosi/Waxman/etc) are going to do to the automotive world. Can anyone say a Ferarri with a prius powertrain?
