Bill, it seems like you're setting a new trend. So, considering that shoehorning a Prius (or any other random hybrid) drivetrain could address the emissions compliance issue, do you believe it would be a viable way to circumvent other restrictions against grey-imports such as DOT and NHTSA compliance? For example, if one wanted a Land Cruiser 76 so badly that would be willing to work around to match its body to a Lexus NX300h floorpan.
