The R20 could be neat depending on how much power you can pull out of it.

Yeah, I'm not going to buy one. Not this one, anyway.

Prices for electric cars will drop when volume blah blah you get the idea. Maybe in 15 years I can buy something with the looks and performance of a Tesla Roadster, but with better battery life and shorter charge-time, for $30k. Anything that brings that day closer is a good thing.

I'm not specifically interested in the Leaf but I do wish them best of luck for the reasons you state. Seriously, even if it's not profitable/not a great car/whatever, it's an interesting step forward. Maybe it won't pan out, maybe it will, but dudes who are like "well it ain't cost effective" are the guys that were bitching about the newfangled horseless carriage in 1900 so I'm not gonna take them seriously.

It probably takes a week to hook up. I bet it would be fun as hell.

Usually when I look at a supercharged 260HP Exige, my first thought is "NEEDS MORE POWER" because I am a child.

Since they're pretty low volume, I'd imagine that they have a contract for X thousand Toyota engines. Why would they break that contract for a (relatively) modest gain in performance?

The two forty has a top speed of 150mph - how many tracks have areas that you get up to more than 150 on?
