What types of systems?

Chassis? Drivetrain? Electrical? Safety?

Are you talking about what they've innovated? Or what they currently use?

Which models are you talking about?



Your question is extremely vague and open-ended...

Thumbs down

Still far too vague, and I'm not doing your homework for you. Moving on, and strongly encouraging all others to as well...

That list is crap....

I'm pretty sure the consumer could care less about how much waste is created at a factory when their car is made. If I like a car and I can comfortably afford it, I'm buying that car. Period.

When was the last time you heard anyone say " well I sacrificed my fuel economy and went with a Pontiac Vibe instead of a Prius because I don't like the excessive pollution that is created in the manufacturing process of a hybrid vehicle"... that's just balony. People buy a Prius because it saves THEM money, and with the speculated gas price by the end of this year, I'm pretty sure there's gonna be a lot more Priuses on the road.

Anti-lag? Does that mean it spins up *before* you press the gas pedal?
