I know...hopefully this time it's true. It makes too much sense for it not to be true.

I just hope it can stay looking like the concept... but it will probably go the way of the volt and the the cool looks to it will disappear

I wouldn't be so sure about that. The Volt concept was about as aerodynamic as a brick. It was only meant to draw people to the car and the technology inside. The Converj looks as though it was designed for maximum aerodynamics, and Lutz has said that any production model will differ very slightly from the concept.

sure...I agree. I don't however, see any major issues with the Converj's lights, etc...they seem production-intent. (big enough, etc)

Eh.. It's not bad, however I wouldn't buy it.. But at least not all people that want to be "green" won't all drive ugly ass priuses..

o its a hybrid? it better be sporty.

When we talked to Fbod at the OC auto show, he said the it was a go. However it would be a limited run simply because of production cost.

Oh yeah, and the ability to see 180 degrees behind you without mirrors!!

Just awesome

Not technically a hybrid. A hybrid uses a combination of gas/electric power to move the car. The Volt and Converj never draw power directly from the gasoline generator. The generator serves only to keep the battery level at a sustainable charge. It never directly drives the car.

And because it's an electric car, it has instant torque, which can be manipulated for sport applications.
