| Toyota Hittin' the Hybrid Sports Car? |

On January 10th, I'm going
to be in Detroit for the Auto Show. I'm able to do this because of the
wisdom of PR people at General Motors. They know that blogs are
important, and they know that we can't afford to go to auto shows, so
they pay for us to go, and then we say they're stupid when they're
stupid and they're great when they're great. General Motors will, no
doubt, be both stupid and great in Detroit, and I will keep you all
informed of that progress.
Toyota, however, is somehow being both stupid and great in one car. They'll be releasing the FT-HS hybrid sports car concept. The car is expected to hit 60 mph in four seconds with around 400 horsepower. Now, that's impressive, but, in my opinion a waste of an electric motor. The car's performance will be increased much more than its fuel efficiency. But, I suppose, if people are going to be buying these ridiculous power-wheels, then they should be as efficient as possible. Via AutoBlogGreen
