    Hi ChicoFowler,

    Re: Anyone else see this yet.......

    I just dropped them an email. If they have anything to actually see, I'll go down to Eugene and find out what I can.

    Eugene is about 1 1/2 hrs from me.

    Cool - let me know what you find out. I'd be curious how practical something like this would be for inner-city commuting.

    Hi ChicoFowler,

    Re: let me know what you find out.

    They sent me back this email:

    Thank you for the email! We do have our shop in Eugene. Right now, we have the prototypes with us. However, you can still stop into the shop for a tour! If you would like to wait until the prototypes are back from the road tour, then you can set up a time to visit at the end of February. Let me know if you wish to schedule a tour.

    I think she means: Right now, we do not have the prototypes with us.

    I'll try to get down there when the prototypes are back.

    Britain have a white paper to have all road going vehicles on alternate fuels by 2050, Toyotas date just ties in nicely with that and more countries supporting that or whether that the pressure of an EU or UN edict they are trying to pan out will help determine more people trying to hit that date.

    Its a bit too car for me but as I have numerous times before these range of new vehicles will be as disparate as the current auto vehicle market is not if now more because many smaller manufacturers will be able to get into the market as they are proving now.

    Not sure how they get to their price point as it is much lower than the ZERO SR motorcycle.
