The best of both worlds?

Looking more macho than a Prius while providing better fuel-economy. That makes a lot of sense environmentally-wise. I may tell you I consider motorcycles and scooters the most reasonable vehicles regarding this aspect, since they require less replacement parts, lube oils, friction material for brakes and clutch, tyres, and also generate a smaller pressure over the soil.
