yup. i think its good news cause its a step closer to smaller engines. i know thats kinda hypocritical cause the xB2 has a bigger engine but its damn smaller and does damn better MPG than the huge SUVs that are rolling around the streets.

we should go crazy like the japanese did a long while back and restrict HP. that may sound crazy but during that time they did crank out the skyline...

i think the cube is a rather impracticle and poorly designed vehicle.

here is a longer article about it:

http://www.latimes.com/news/printedi...,6613648.story

The writer makes some good points. I have been saying for awhile now, who the hell wants a hybrid SUV that gets only 20 mpg? Thats moronic in my opinion. I still believe that people should be able to choose what they want to drive though (unlike the author)

I'm sure when they bring it here it will have a larger engine and not get 37 mpg and they will remove the cool feature of the electric motor that drives the rear wheels.
