As yet I am not sold on the electric / hybrid motors though I reckon its only a matter of time before we see many of them on the roads. I remember when truck companies laughed at LPG diesel hybrids now you see a fair few of them.

Oh yeah I will keep a weather eye on this type of car especially when its mostly local mileage I am putting on the clock most of the time these days.
 
Whatever happened to that "two moving parts" engine (cam, valves and pistons all built into a central rotating shaft)? It was supposed to revolutionize internal combustion engines... Can't recall the name...
