I wouldn't necessarily say coolest hybrid ever, but definitely the most impressive. |
Right, so now almost everyone knows except for me  Did I miss something while I was in the bathroom?

Well, the term hybrid has been abused and really taken out of context. I am guessing Toyota branded the car like that for fear US Americans would give it a name of our own.
There have been many good examples of a real hybrid posted here and some of my friends will argue that the El Camino is a hybrid, part car, part truck.
Ben, hes duct tape and bound in the back of a van near a government office with no identifying marks by a building with just a street number on it.

A lot of people probably don't even know things like this even exist.
Anyway, I emailed Ben to poke him about this thread.

 So true. Honda-tech has a subforum called "hybrid". It's all about Prelude and Integra engines in Civics.

I'd call my car a "cool diesel-gas hybrid" (I sometimes pass gas while driving with the A/C on), but I don't want to abuse the term

I had nothing to do with that, honest! I thought Ben was procrastinating to give Jethro some time to get better.
Should this thread be in the Lounge until Ben adds some real info? I'm having a good time, btw

With all of the tar we have been keeping heated up his hybrid better be good otherwise it will never save as much energy as we have spent on his hype |

Maybe it runs on tar and feathers, making it a hybrid.
