That should be awesome.. Though doesn't take a genious to have figured out it was the oil companies forcing us to use an outdated motor.. Hell the origional deasel engien was built to run on corn oil.. Fuckin governments, especially the American. Should all be neck fucked! Gotta head to work soon.. time to burn up an hours pay just getting there..

Can't wait to see this film. Combined with the Tesla's imminent release, perhaps this could be enough to swing the public's perception. I know i know, I'm an irrepressible optimist but imagine if it happened! Our kids might be able to grow up in a climate more forgiving than a desert!

Isn't it sad that some humans are willing to sacrifice the planet in order to make some money.

^ Planet's pretty much fucked as it is, we can slow it down but we've started a chain reaction that wont stop now. What bothers me is the fact it costs me more to drive back and forth to work then it dose to eat dinner.. gas prices are beyond acceptable!

A classic example of Corporate America. Putting the health of planet earth in jeopardy because saving it costs corporation CEO's profit. Way to go GM!

electric cars biggest load of bollocks ever still run on fossel fuels due to the power stations they run off of.
becides i would rather have either a four pot turbo, five pot turbo, six cylinder, v8/w8, v10, v12/w12 and up.
failing that my normally aspirated four will do the trick much better than some glorified milkfloat
