    So lets take this to a marketing win for the US! Holden VE Ute is sold as the NEW CHEVY El Camino Hybrid! AWD Hybrid drive train perfect for those weekend warriors who want to go up the mountain to hit it with their Dirt Bikes, weekend get away camping, haul the Home Depot flower bed supplies and yet still be more car like, easier to park and fit the City life style better than a brute full size Pickup Truck. This way you have Green Credentials and a win win Life style marketing message.

    Interesting layout, reminds me of the Chevy's. I do not see this as a luxury car, but just a normal Chevy competition.

    Was at PSE (Puget Sound Energy) today in Bellevue where they had an alternative energy show for businesses, governments and individuals. Handed out lots of business cards. Saw this car finally in person and was able to sit in it and check it out. First, they built it for small people in comparison to me. Had to recline to actually sit in it and no way anyone could sit behind me. Fit and Finish was amazing but then for a hand built car of little production I would expect it to be. Funny part was someone else asked about the fires and the rep said it was nothing, just a little fix in a fan and then he changed it to other topics and focused on the long range it gets compared to other electric cars. Still the price is a limiting factor for most people and a useless car for businesses.

    I would not call it junk, but I think it is far more experimental than they are willing to admit. Better yet is if they would sell their 300 Mile range battery technology to GM or Ford so it could go into mass production that everyone can have access too. If they want people to move off Petrol and onto something else, then they got to get it to the masses, not the 1%.

    I do not think Jeeves has to ask for the BP card, this person already has his own card supplied by the employer and knows to keep ti fueled, polished and stocked for what ever whim comes their way.

    Hydro Baby, that is why our electrical rates in Washington are so low in comparison to the rest of the country. We do have plenty of water to turn the generators. Now to just keep the tree huger in check as we move to alternative energy like CNG as these tree hugers want to take down all the damns.

    This is a perfect example of why they need t advertise this more.

    Over all a great review on this minivan, as a people mover especially for those that love all auto's Asian this will sell. Interior I like except for the placement of the shifter, same bloody place in the last two versions and I hated it then. Exterior, I am glad you showed it besides the Japan version as I love the Japan version, they should have sold it as is here. I think they watered the body down for America. Why? What makes them think we are more conservative than Japan when it comes to design? Over all great review, Interior is nice except for the cargo space and shifter and exterior body get a thumb down for me. This is a deal breaker as the styling is just blaw!

    Check out the Solar Kits Costco sells, the pricing has come down greatly and these kits I believe will speed up the use of Solar on homes. http://www.costco.com/Common/Search.aspx?whse=BC&topnav=&search=solar&N=0&Ntt=solar&cm_re=1_en-_-Top_Left_Nav-_-Top_search&lang=en-US Happy Shopping.

    Boy have you hit the nail on the Head, the current BMW interface is hell to use just to make basic things work. I really doubt the engineers who came up with the bmw wheel and interface never has had to use it in the real world.

    Considering that this affects only the upper 1%, this is a non event for me!

    Nope... lots of car companies are doing it, esp w/ hybrid and electric cars. Think how cool it would be to cruise up a Leaf and have the sound of a Peterbuilt instead of silence.. Something like this might just happen as the blind have filed motions with the EPA over the silent operation of these cars and how they are dangerous to blind people all over as you just do not tend to hear them. They are asking for a minimum standard car noise to be generated so it can be heard.

    It'd be interesting looking under the hood, but rather pathetic going silently down the road (despite the 500 lb weight advantage the '57 enjoys). C-57s should rumble & growl. Could add synthesized engine noise as a number of car makers are doing today..green hot rods are going to be a growth industry eventually, I think. I am going to make this statement here and now: PERFORMANCE ELECTRIC MOTORS!!! I truly believe that there are those out there that want the VOLT/PRIUS/LEAF etc but want better power/performance and I think a person who had the right skill set could build a replacement performance motor for the hybrids that could do way better than the OEM's could. Eventually rebuilding gas motors will go away as rebuilding electric motors will replace them as these auto's have a generator to deliver the power needed for long road trips. The VOLT and Prius are the only true long range hybrids in my book that can truly go on road trips. Yet I love the room and size and the true electric drive of the Volt over the Prius.

    That could Rock my world too!!! How about a tri-five Chevy w/ a Volt drivetrain..that would be radical... I could go for that as long as the generator/motor ran on CNG!

    Good thing we do not have many people who remember that. No need to confuse poor lemming buyers.

    So many choices and so little time!

    I would love to have a 56 or 57 Chevy but with a modern underpinning including a 350 ramjet crate motor. Course would love a rat rod with the chevy 502 RamJet crate motor. Go Big or Go Home!

    I like this idea: EcoPush V8 Makes way more sense and communicates more to you in just that phrase than the confusing skyactive which I still have no idea of what Mazda is trying to sell other than small cars.
