It is powered by the world’s first hybrid powertrain that combines the power of a gasoline motor with the economical assistance of a windup key.

:burnout:

1.2L turbo eh?

Kinda cool.

We’ll be seeing more of these if gas continues to stay high and/or climb higher.

:frowning: is this the future shit were gonna have to deal with? resist the urge, buy V8

wtf i shit bigger than that piece

:lol: KEVIN

that’s just a picture on your monitor, I’m sure the real thing will be bigger…

WHAT IS THIS, A CAR FOR ANTS??? IT NEEDS TO BE… AT LEAST 3x BIGGER! /zoolander

Headline should read…

AFTER INVESTING ALL OF THEIR MONEY IN MORGUE FUTURES GM OFFICIALS HAVE RELEASED THEIR DAVID (BEAT) TO TAKE ON THEIR GOLIATH (HUMMER).

Ford’s new hybrid

I’ll take a Jetta TDI that gets 50mpg and is a normal car.

Why are there no Diesels in the US. f

1HP? weak.
also, i heard it requires a stool sample to pass emissions.

Chevy will never have money until they break the over payed unions.
Then they can charge a realistic ammount for a car, and make some money.
Either way that car looks much better than a cobalt.

I hear its the fastest Mustang in Ford’s stable.

Meh, personally prefer the fit’s looks over that.

Honestly I’d like to see some of the fun kei cars make it over here. Still rather nifty.

I dig it, I’d buy it.

same, love these new concepts

i thought it was built on daewo (sp?) specs…so it wont meet us emissions and saftey standards…?

for only 40 mpg i would rather buy the camry hybrid. bigger and the same mpg

I totally agree, no offense to anyone here, or your parents that may have worked for GM, there is NO unskilled labor that deserves 40$+ an hour, plus amazing retirement benefits, in addition to great healthcare. Teachers and those posessing MBA’s barely make that…why should someone working on an assembly line make that!?..its been like that since the 70’s~

It’s cool, but the Mazda 2/Ford Fiesta is better…No idea what the Ford will look like but it will likely be similar, and here in 2009.

The disguised prototypes look like they have the same lines…

HAHA
