That's the greatest wiper ever. Beats reaching out from the driver's window in a snowstorm and whacking the blade to dislodge built-up snow and ice because if you pull over you'll be stuck in a snowdrift, or finding the cheap-ass all-season wiper fluid Tony put in at your last service freezes below 10°F.

Does anyone here read instead of goggle at pictures? Forget the sheet metal, the boring mass-market Accord Hybrid will *only* come with a plug. That's a momentous change in the automotive industry. If you want the efficient version of the 12th-best selling car in the USA, you'll plug it in.

No oil changes, spark plugs, timing belt, transmission (just a reduction gear), clutch, catalytic converter, muffler, smog check, ... ; and greatly reduced brake wear thanks to regenerative braking. One reason why Tesla owns their stores is dealers rely on servicing to make money, so they have a disincentive to peddle…

The skateboard chassis from the GM Hy-Wire concept. Three hydrogen tanks, fuel cell, motor and a small battery in that 11-inch deep deck, plus fans and tubing and a big chunk of unobtainium.

The motor (? it looks like two, but I think one cylinder is the reduction gear) is nothing to look at, but Tesla is set to deliver the skateboard chassis that GM teased us with the HyWire concept a decade ago. Subaru promotes the low center of gravity from their boxer engine, but just look at this thing! And note how…

Your pic is a Roadster, it has a higher motor. Yes, the Model S is lovely, Franz von Holzhausen delivered.

@Jason Torchinsky, can you figure out how to link to Toyota's press release, like a real car site? There's actually some meat there.

It's not clear that a TDI hybrid would "kill everything in the fuel efficiency department". Toyota's e-CVT lets the engine run more of the time at most efficient load. So Toyota and Ford can run a larger Atkinson-cycle engine with comparable efficiency to a diesel. Toyota has increased the motor power and engine power…

The Euro small diesels that "beat the stupid hybrids" are underpowered subcompacts. And to get those great numbers on the Euro cycle most have stop-start and brake regen, i.e. they're micro hybrids. Unfortunately stop-start seems not to increase mpg on the EPA test.

If the range is enough for your normal driving, how is a gas-free car that you can cheaply and less-bad-for-the-environment-overall "refuel" at home NOT a reasonable choice? It's as stupid as saying a 2-door sports car is a novelty car for the pretentious, hipper-than-thou crowd who ought to be driving a 5-door hatch.…

No, hydrogen is not a good start, it's a non-starter. Since BMW and Mazda canceled their joke inefficient H2 combustion engines, all hydrogen cars are just battery electric cars whose range extender is an expensive hydrogen fuel cell that requires a non-existent H2 refueling infrastructure. There will be a handful of…

Show me these people who "don't understand that part". Avoiding the production, refining, delivery and burning of literally tons of gasoline compared with a 35 mpg car is a genuine win for the environment, as is driving less, car sharing, a bicycle, etc.

Them's brave talk around here. The Prius front is pretty indistinguishable from the Honda Fit that's certified OK for Jalopnik's to like, as you say the rear has to look that way for aero, and that leaves the awful under-tyred dumpy rear 3/4 view. The Prius is 75% OK looking.

It's not a lie, it's just a meaningless statement. Jay Leno Drives Chevy Volt 11000 Miles Without Gas, Nets 2365 MPG and other owner stories are equally true. The excellent EPA window sticker for a plug-in gives you what you need to estimate your actual gas and electricity usage; until it shows up for the new Ford…

I'll save that pic for all the people who say "My brillaint idea is to power an electric car from solar cells on it's roof". Damn you, unyielding physics!

Excellent, thank you! Acura's press release talks about the two motors for SH-AWD and a third electric motor somehow lashed to the engine and dual-clutch transmission, but was silent on what provides the juice.

The 918 is real, Porsche is taking orders for the $845,000 car. But it's changing as it nears production. Jalopnik seems to have missed it, but new (alleged) details have emerged #tips:

It adds Super-ooper-duper Handling-All Wheel Drive!

I wonder why is it acceptable for politicians to "choose" (your choice of word) to believe made-up stories that on the face of it are stupid? [mormon.org] talks of some tribe led by God from Jerusalem to the Americas, the angel Moroni, some "ancient language" on golden plates now conveniently lost? What.Ev.Er. It's…

Don't know, and yes.
