FRS vs Hyundai Ioniq

whoa, take a look at this badboy: http://green.autoblog.com/2012/03/01...ept-leaks-out/

rwd, small, hatchback 2 door, possibly lightweight?
electric 104hp, plus range extender engine.

if Hyundai manages to produce something like this soon, it would be worth the wait.

Actually would be a cool car to have. Once shit hits the fan and gas is +$5 and Israel or the USA bombs Iran and gas hits $7-8, I will probably wish I had a fun hybrid car.

You Americans have it way too easy. "Oh NO! $4 per gallon of gas?!" I'm paying $4.50 per gallon in Canada (our dollars are worth exactly the same, if you're wondering). In Europe gas is like $5 Euro per gallon, and that's when it's cheap. Quit whining.

US is negotiating with Iran all quiet like right now... Just delaying until Turkey can balance them in the Middle East.



Anyone else see FR-S/BRZ rip-off in the shape of the front lower bumper?

It's an interesting hybrid concept. The majority of hybrids are going FWD, and electric power means they can package things a bit better by going RWD.

Not holding hope for a production version though...

You Canucks have it so easy with socialized health care so quit whining about increasing costs. Same with your education costs.

You miss the point.
