I heard that Honda is doing away with Hybrid cars and just providing these to everyone, laughing at the new CAFE standards all the way to the bank.....

Pretty cool from a Honda tech geeky perspective. I'll keep an eye out for one when I get old...well...older. :tongue:

I'd like the Type-R version though. :biggrin:

PS TAKE THAT NISSAN!! TAKE THAT FERRARI!!! YOU CAN MAKE CARS LIKE THE GTR AND THE F430...but HONDA...has this. lol

Nice...1st step towards mechanized body armor. :smile:

Is there a left-hand drive version?

Hook it up with a remote and wait until the user sits down to take a number two then press the stand button, then sit, then stand, etc....Sorry I just had to guys.

Not to be outdone, our friends from over the big pond have HAL-5, from Cyberdyne (I kid you not). The JDM version has lighter weight, longer battery life, and just looks much more "real world".
