Yeah I get it!

Yeah I get the joke.

But, on the flip side, think about the possibilities. Porsche already is with their 918 Spyder. 500 Horsepower with a boost from the electric motors of another 218 Hoirsepower.and...78 mpg.

While made of unobtainium for us common folks ($845,000). It does give us a glimpse of the future.

Granted it seems far fetched right now, but, as the economics trickle the technology down the food chain, it isn't all that far out there.

Check this out from the WSJ:

Road & Track's article about the convertible Volt was more believable

Autoblog has a list of automotive April foolery
