Thu, 30 December 2004 22:05 I've seen these cars about quite often but yesterday was the first time i really encountered one close-up - there was one in the lane next to me for like 2km. It was really funny pulling up at the lights because my 18RG was rattling and revving and cranking and this little Prius seems to stop spinning altogether, it's like there's no engine at all. It's like a stealth bomber car. But yes, it's f*cking ugly. And 210kph is pathetic, seeing as they had to tweak it and remove all the interior to do it. You'd think electric cars would be great sports cars given they can have much more torque than gas engines, not to mention the possibility for an electric supercharger shot when you're pedal to the metal. What they need to do is build one without all the plush interior, without 20 million airbags, without any plastic bits stuck to it to make it look futuristic, put the engine in a light <1000kg body and make it two door. That'll get people buying it. [Report message to a moderator]
