Stonehenge is just a collection of rocks. This is simpler and more conceptual, but in conjunction with the 456-foot-long slot it rests in, it could be excellent.

Again, privately funded. Read the FAQ.

Not well-played. This is privately funded.

But it won't get 58mpg on the EPA cycle. That 58 mpg from the TwinAir Dualogic is 4.0 L/100km on the European cycle, but on the same test the Prius gets 3.90 L/100 km. America's 50 mpg Prius is a 60 mpg car in Europe, where some small micro-hybrid diesels are getting 70 mpg

It's a beautiful and different luxury car, like many other models that the rich buy. It's also has the technological advancement than you can drive around all-electric for 32 miles without burning any gasoline.

Fisker was founded 2007, showed the Karma in 2008, and started deliveries in 2011 after numerous delays. That seems a little tight for a brand new car from a brand new company using new technology. But the drivetrain comes from Quantum, who say "Q-DriveTM has evolved over six years of innovation and development."

Everyone, stop with the redefinition of "vaporware" to "car models I don't like that have future plans"!

You're misguided, and fail at humor.

Electric motors are reliable and require no maintenance, so in theory the more time you're in all-electric mode, the less maintenance required. Hybrid + AWD is definitely more stuff to go wrong, but the Prius is the most reliable midsize car and even the Lexus AWD hybrids with multiple e-CVTs and motor-generators have

Honda used to promote the Phill home CNG refueling station for the Civic GX. Not any more, they went bankrupt in 2009. They may be back in business.

"My name's Bruce Kibbutz Mansory. How do winners roll? I'm talking automotive bling, baby. ... I'm talking about being original, just like everybody else who can afford to be. I'm talking about taking a 250,000 dollar sports car designed by world-class engineers and letting a guy from East Hook (uh, Brand, Germany)

Rare earth mining for electric car batteries is extremely harmful for the environment.

Because by focusing on the cost lazy journalists disregard the many reasons people should value a more fuel-efficient car. It leads to the bizarre defeatist attitude of looking at anyone who shells out money for one as if they're a chump instead of someone trying to do the right thing

GM Volt owners are driving hundreds and even thousands of miles without gasoline. Jay Leno's Chevy Volt consumed about 4.6 gallons of gas in its first 11,000 miles [wheels.blogs.nytimes.com]

Maybe, but meanwhile over half of the people who ordered a Volt are first time buyers of a Chevrolet brand vehicle.

Making recyclable, non-toxic lithium-ion batteries is NOT a brutal environmental process!, despite the unscientific handwaving crap you've seen from Jeremy Clarkson and other entertainers.

There's a a federal tax credit of up to $7500 for a plug-in car, and states offer other tax credits and rebates. Go read [en.wikipedia.org]

The Average Driver drives 29 miles a day, within the Volt's all-electric range, and way less than the Leaf/i-MiEV/Focus Electric range, whether highway or not. The benefit is still there in highway driving for millions of drivers.

I agree with your point on taxation, but it's highly suspect that fuel-efficient cars make things worse. They immediately reduce the amount of pollution someone puts out, and everything else is conjecture. As lazy journalists love to point out, it takes years for the money you save to pay for the increased cost of the

Opels sold in the UK as Vauxhalls have always had a griffin logo (head and wings of an eagle with the body of a lion). Now they can go all lion.
