Holy Dodge Hot Wings!!!

I was talking about the appearance of the car at the beginning of this post. I think the turbine cars look kind of like a 61-63 T-bird and I think the T-bird's designer had a hand in the turbine car design. I like the turbine car styling, bold but not outlandish.

As far as loaning the turbine cars out to the public, what better way to learn how well something works than rack up some real world miles, you'll discover things that all the test track miles will not show you, like how feasible is something in all the variations of daily life versus endless repetition of a narrowly defined test track procedure.

Other manufacturers have done something like that. GM built a bunch of electric cars about 25 years back and put them in the hands of the public. I worked for an auto parts manufacturer from 73 to 08. At times over the years we put parts on peoples cars that were new ideas we were trying to develop so we could get real world usage on them to see how well it worked, whether or not it was an idea worth developing further.
