@A f*cking player: last month Lexus sold 22 of the GS 450h and 22 of the LS 600h. Accord Hybrid production ended in 2007.

@sos10: Those aren't sport sedans

I don't understand the logic here: adding weight and complexity while sapping power from a sport sedan to gain a dubious amount of green cred? Formula for FAIL. I think the novelty of hybrids has worn off enough that they need to offer credible benefits to be successful.

I wonder if it was a newer Elise or the first generation. Do they get the Toyota motors in Blighty or still the Rover unit?

The AT shifter looks Kia-worthy

Jinghuai has elected to join the "Slightly Silly" party chaired by Kevin Phillips-Bong

@jark has been anglicized: oops, I meant I'm doing my part

@engineerd: Hey, I'm doing my party. I can only afford the one though

@Alfisted: My neighbors have two Alfas and I've seen them both move under their own power.

@Alfisted: that and the F-150 banner ad across the top almost made me laugh out loud at work

@undefined: If you're willing to sacrifice performance to save money you might as well buy an econobox. You'll save a lot of money and you'll have about as much fun.

@wrx-tyrannosaurusWrx: a V6 ponycar is weak, period. Why not get a V6? Because there is an effing V8! Why not just get a Genesis Coupe? Have you heard of a thing called torque?

@wrx-tyrannosaurusWrx: Yes, but not on jalopnik. Try hairdressersandsecretaries.com

where do i sign?

@Cognitive Friction: It's Buick's version of the Volt - the Dynamo!

@wcm661: When I was 8 or 9 I dreamed of a car that had independent throttle and brake controls for each side of the car. Sort of a do-it-yourself torque vectoring idea. I figured it would take two people to drive it. It was a better idea than this wheel thingy.

This is a nightmare. Panic stop > weight shifts forward > Beetle's roof caves in > Beetle's brakes can't stop trailer > Beetle smashes into whatever's in front of it > smashed bug and occupants

@Foozy Ploosh Room: Haha! That was a Hyundai though. My sister had one - total piece of crap. I haven't seen one on the road in years. Probably because they weren't roadworthy to start with.

GTI: 197 horsepower

@jduffy13: The wheel arches need to be squared off. Where have you gone to Marcello Gandini?
