More Hybrid Cars from Toyota: iQ

Today as we face global warming and many environmental issues, along with increasing gas prices, the demands of driving has decreased over period of time. Due to such reasons, Hybrid Cars became one of the popular sellers. Long story short, hybrids store energy that are lost every time the car breaks (slowing down), and uses the energy in future hand. That brought many gadgets that notify the driver of their driving habits to save some mileage. But now, there’s more than what hybrids alone can do.

While Toyota is now known to have their “Prius” that has one of the most mileage per gallon, they’re planning to release another car called, “iQ microcar” in about a year. While being only 10 feet long, it’ll still offer four seatings, and it is said that it’ll most likely get a Li-ion battery pack by 2010, which will make the car even greater.

oyeaitzkevin, it may not look as great as other cars out there but if it’s affordable enough for an ordinary student, I’d definitely get it.
