Where are they now?

I've been thinking for a while now of trying to contact people and companies that have built high mpg vehicles, or advanced engine designs, and seeing what ever became of them? I figure this site is noteworthy enough, we could get away with saying it's for "a Ecomodder news article/blog" press thing of some sort. Just something to make it seem official so people would be more inclined to reply.

What do you think?

I'd like to find out what Dave Cloud's is up to with the "Dolphin." Would he ever sell it?

John Waylands attempt to build "Silver Streak," a 350 mile range Honda Insight with an EV1 drivetrain and wheels? Last update from him on that was in 2009, though that material got picked up in 2011 for different articles.

Aptera, Edison2, the many more obscure Xprize entrants like Washington University who built exceptional one off high mpg cars like the Viking 45. What ever happened to the "Four-sight?" The WaveII? Loremo? Where are these cars now? Or will we hear about them 20 years from now on ebay as neglected barn finds?

Lit motors?

Meullers pulse wave engine that got funded by DARPA?

koenigsegg's camless engine in a Saab?

Singh and his engine grooves?

Anymore i missed?
