They were talked about on the news GodGrave...the Volt is gonna be priced around 40k and the Leaf i think is gonna be around 25k....but the thing is the Leaf is all electric and the Volt used the gas to recharge the battery while you drive

Seriously. 15-30 mpg on average for vehicles for 40 years or so... and just overnight it leaps to 230-370 mpg... wtf. Its as if the companies have been sitting on the technology for years for a jump that huge to happen. Maybe the companies were waiting for a patent to expire?

      I'm really surprised I haven't heard more about this in the news. This is pretty huge. These companies have been fixing the prices on parts for so long, it must have had a large impact on the total price of new vehicles.

      If this becomes a standard feature in future vehicles it would def help out people that cant afford to drop $200 on a decent pair of polarized lens sunshades.

      Wow. I just assumed Saturn would have been bought... but then again GM turned Saturn into crap over the years. Its a shame tho, Saturn started off so good.
