Just though it was kind of interesting and was wondering if anyone knows how LED Headlights would work? HID vs. LED?

Yeah they introducing their technology in their Toyota cars now. The first car with LED head lights are on the Lexus LS600h, it's pretty awesome.

anyone else see the solar panel roof, that's pretty cool. I think its there to reduce drive train loss from the alternator, instead of everything powered by the alternator it gets power from the solar roof. The LED headlights are probably there to reduce power consumption. Its all about efficiency...

Yeah, it still looks like ****.

They won't be selling many of those if gas stays under $2.00 a gallon. None of the hybrids will be selling... could be even more trouble for the auto industry.
