And VERY nice layout.
Hey, I love Hubs with good layouts.
Mine are all so...well the same...LOL
Thanks Gpage and Sabreblade
unfortunately, when any of these hit Europe (apart from BMW, had that for a while), we can expect to see a 50-70% premium on US prices.
loving the volt
Great post there. Cars pictures are Pure porn :d
Looking forward to see Aston martin one-77
Looks like it's going be rarer then Bugatti Veyron.
Those are some beautiful cars. I liked the Porsche Panamera, Spyder Quattro, and the Fisker Karma the best.
Thanks for the Great Hub!
We'll have to see if the Chevy Volt ends up as exciting as their aborted EV-1, photos of the final production design are out, looks like it lost the KIT talking car light bar.
Cant wait for the Fisker Karma! until then, I'll drive my Subaru WRX.
