Ask any engineer and they would kill for an oppurtunity to work on something this cool, anybody can design a hilly billy pick up. Hey anybody wonder why GM and Ford keep losing marketshare every year? Yeah it's because they don't have the sack to take on a project as risky as the insight.
Both Ford and GM have Hybrid vehicles. It's their lack of relaibility and resale value which kills their sales.
