Is it made entirely out of plastic? Or did they hollow out a rice kernel....

i hope that the electric motor is responsible for torque, would be disappointing to have another honduh v6 with 24x hp and the customary 11 foot lbs torque that seems to come standard with the accord and acura v6's.

until the reports start to flow in on reliability. A coworker has a Prius and the thing threw a connecting rod!! The engine had to be replaced but from what I hear this occurrence is very rare.

Here's an excerpt from J.D. Powers & Associates
"The Hybrid Vehicle Consumer Acceptance Study is based on responses from more than 5,200 recent new-vehicle buyers

The results of this consumer-based study support the sales outlook outlined in a separate J.D. Power and Associates hybrid vehicle forecast, in which hybrid sales are expected to increase dramatically in the next few years and approach 500,000 vehicles per year shortly after mid-decade."
