Fresh on the heels of the Lexus hybrid powered by tubes of captured light itself is this Saturn Vue, obviously harnessing the power of mere photons. The cutaway clearly shows multicolored bands of light coursing through the powerplant of this super advanced Saturn hybrid. We suspect dilithium crystals are at the heart of this system, and that GM is not at all lamenting Kerkorian's recent decisions. GM is merely preparing for the Captain James T. Kirk era. Stay tuned for planets full of simpler folks being duped out of their crystals, and green models in gold bikinis at future GM car show booths. – Mike Bumbeck

We're always drawn in like moths to a buzzing street lamp to car show cutaways. This Lexus GS350h intensified the effect by using strategically placed neon tubes to demonstrate how the ultra efficient hybrid drive transfers power through the vehicle as required by its various systems. Lexus has apparently harnessed the power of light itself. Scotty, we need more power, and we need it now. – Mike Bumbeck
