    PML's In-Wheel Motor, Plug-in Series conversion Hybrid MINI prototype debuts at the British Motor Show.

    MINI also announced it's next series of higher efficiency fuel engines that will be introduced in 2007.

    Now if they'll just make a production plug-in hybrid MINI. That would give the Prius a run for my money.

    Sounds like a really neat car. It has a lot of features I would love to see in the next Gen Prius.

    I'll take it.
    I don't even care that it's a Beemer.

    Now THAT is the right stuff! Where can I buy one of those? :D

    Mathematicians will certainly like the name "QED" Quod Erat Demonstrandum. Perfect.

    Done. If that was an option when I bought the Prius, it would have been a slam dunk, even over MSRP.
