Looks okay enough for me. Though I've yet to find mods for a hybrid.

Since you have the pictures of the car, did they actually call it a Supra or not?

It's called a 'Volta' the design was done by italdesign. After seeing the rearend, I"m no longer enamoured.

But considering the $2.05 for a 87 octane here in California I could find these cars quite handy. I really hope more companies push for the hybrid electric technology.

$2.05! I get grumpy when gas gets up to like $1.60 for 87 octane here in Oklahoma.

$2.30 here in San Diego for 87.

1.69 for 87. MD

Michigan is averaging $1.68 now. A bit more out in the boondocks.

The rear end on that car is... um. How can you even see out the back of that thing?

Yes, the prices have been known to make a grown man cry...

The thing that kills the look of the Supra for me is that it's essentially a hatchback. Maybe if they gave it a trunk (as it appears in the front shot, then it would be fantabulous).
