I like it. Looks like a modern version of the Griswold family truckster!

From what I understand, they ride like crap from the factory. Those low profile tires will make it unbearable...not like I'd ever ride in one.

Lets see this photoshoped with diesel soot covering the front.

The large radiator/intercooler opening is kinda ironic (moronic?). Or maybe it is repowered?

To each their own.

As low as that is there'd likely be several thou worth of plastic littering various streets, parking lots, and driveway entries if it were driven around here. Maybe I'm just getting old and practical.

Have to agree with gulfcoastguy and turboboost1 as well!

This thread sort of reminds of when I was on my way to work on I-495 in MA one afternoon a few years ago and passed a Prius that had a fart can aka "ghetto trumpet" muffler on it. I couldn't help but LOL and think what a waste it was and how ricey it looked.

I wonder if you can mod the ecu or something to make the electric and gas work together on the 0-60 times

looks like incredibly poor Photoshop skills to me, you fools continue on your banter though.

Gas and electric already work together when accelerating or going up a steep hill. The efficiency goes way down when that happens.

Combined gas-electric acceleration happens in the Jetta hybrid when you floor it. It's called "Boost".

It makes sense to me. It's a power usage meter that reads % of available power from 0-100%. It also shows you how much regenerative braking you're using and when the engine is off at a traffic light.
