We’ll see if this or many (any) other Chrysler products see the light of day, but I’d be interested…

Jay bids farewell to Pontiac in an article in Popular Mechanics.

I could definitely go for one of these. Might’ve helped GM’s cause if they released it 2-3 yrs back… along with an updated Firebird / Trans Am!

The Tesla S is now official (though you can’t actually get one until some time in late 2011).

specs for the EV: this seven-seater can go from 0 to 60 MPH in 5.6 seconds, boasts a top speed of 120 MPH, features a dashboard display and a 17-inch main touchscreen monitor. It’s fully 3G capable, sports HD and satellite radio, uses LED and neon exterior lights, smart-key power, and push button gear selector. While that $49,900 base price will get you a battery that’s good for 160 miles per charge, 230-mile and 300-mile range packs will be available. On a 220V outlet, the company says it’ll charge in four hours with a 45 minute “QuickCharge” option, and you should be able to swap batteries if necessary in under 8 minutes. Excited? Find a way to control yourself, this baby isn’t going into production in Q3 2011.
