...does that mean it'll be named the "Icarus" (tar substituting for wax)?

Maybe it is this iQ EV, which was part of a Toyota press release yesterday?



But the release suggests that the car will not go into large-scale production, a change maybe since Ben saw one? Or maybe this is not the car at all, and never slated to come the USA. Just spit-balling...

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.

Yeah eventually it will go bad as the lower boiling point compounds boil off leaving a solid lump of goop in the bottom of the pot.
