So Air could be the future of hybrid cars

[realnumber 1]

My dad mentioned this the other day and it looks quite interesting. Not seen a thread on it so thought I'd do one. It looks like a good alternative to current methods if they can nail it. I imagine it'd also make them a fortune in the process...

that should be interesting sounds like it wouldn't be cheap though, but only time will tell I guess.

Should be cheaper than batteries in the long run!

I suppose your right there. And since its from Peugeot it will no doubt look much better than the japs have to offer

I think what you mean is it'll work better when the Japs get hold of it and engineer/build it properly.

Still confused as to why SVO isn't more popular.

Yes haha it will work better, but Jap hybrids are all so ugly and boring I would rather break down on the way than arrive and be seen getting out of one of them

Renault/Peugeot/Citroen are hardly churning out good looking cars ATM!

I dunno, the CRZ is a great looking little car IMO.

Each to their own.
