zeus, Interesting. Looking forward to a review based on a multiple day test. Have to see what it weighs. And if it will meet FMVSS requirements in the form that allowed such remarkable numbers to be promoted. Saw a sign on the door of my local Sierra Club yesterday. It just said, "End Coal". Funny stuff. Three weeks ago I got a call from another know-nothing clown at a major Tier One. Another one that wanted me to fund a contribution to a "green car". I asked my usual question, which is, "Ah, where does <green> begin and end for you?". I've found green in automotiveland means you can do something with the product after it's useful life. But almost no one asks about the massive and very non-green waste that happens before that <green> part is shipped to the assembly plant. The company I work for is the single largest user of a certain grade of polymer in the world. And every single ounce of this particular grade of material is WASTED in the production of the final part. No one wants to hear about those details, and there is absolutely no other way to make these parts at the present time. I once asked the head of R&D, "where does it all go, after we are done with it". He said I really didn't want to know. It was better that way (burned). GT TH
