I love pre-production spottings. It seems like such an exciting moment!

Too bad all I ever catch are test mules for upcoming vans and trucks.

So, the blocks on the work computer internet has a tendency to block certain applications and I guess this includes image hosting sites too, because some images show up, and some are x'd. These images don't show up, so I googled the car. Top speed over 210mph while making 78mpg. That's intense.

In hybrid/sport hybrid mode you probably get a true 30-40 something rather than 70 if you allow the engine to shut off periodically, and with the engine always engaged probably low 20s. Gotta love the 9150 rev limit.

Those exhausts and engine cover might be the best I've ever seen. Very nice
