2. It was discovered later on that this article appears to be based on some old toyota released photos of a car they dubbed "Hybrid MR2".
3. Currently we have not gotten anything confirmed, but the majority of people, with connections, seem to think this is all a publicity stunt to get the magazine attention. I am waiting on my source to post an email from a designer at ED2 to confirm (hopefully) that the ED2 is the final version.

hope this helps.
Yes, thank you.

As much as I really, really hope this is some sort of "hoax" I'm still very open to another design as long as the concept/idea remains.
