    In the episode, I wish they'd shown more of the actual fabrication of the vehicle (the part of it they participated in, if any, that is) than those awful compliance tests. Although I have to say, Clarkson's mood room looked like an amazing place to spend time.

    It looks like a postal van that got sideswiped by a barn.

    Bet that wooden door has a nice, low carbon footprint, though!

    But if you read the road test, you will find that is 3rd in the list of all time favourite electric cars, coming in before the golf cart and the G-Wiz.

    Probably really does show how empty this market this, as well.

    It would have taken a visionary like Le Corbusier or Loewy to have created a vehicle as forward-thinking as this. From the modular power-plant to the 100% non stressed body, they even had the forsight to use raw aluminium which displays patina from new, before it has even began to collect the usual parking dings and jealous scratches.

    Just as Shaped By The Wind styling was a proponent of cutting-edge automotive designs of the past, this body panels of this car will literally be shaped by any gentle breeze it encounters.

    If Teslar had badged it, they'd have had a world-beater on their hands.

    @beercheck:

    Rows and rows of disused milk floats
    stand dying in the dairy yard

    And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts

    Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry

    It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come

    fast and furious

    In a town called malice.

    @Paul Y. don't drive too fast.: I'm not so sure, if they were going to add armor it would negate any of the bragged about gas savings with the extra weight. But this is probably not intended for direct combat zones anyway, more like sneak attacks.

    In reply to Toyota Prius Is A "Butt Buddy?"
    This is actually a good metaphor for how the hybrid system works. It maybe the butt of jokes but it conveys the point very well.

    On a side note I'm always surprised when I continue to see Oh, what a feeling in these current adverts even if the phrase is not literally spoken.
