HAHAHAHAHAHAAA! Nice name for a car! Priapus was the Roman god of male sexuallity. In Pompeii, there is a preserved painting of him weighing himself. See here:

I have seen this painting in Pompeii--it's on a brothel with a bunch of other ancient **** paintings.

What a great name for a car, though!

sounds like a good name to me. if i had a car that did 0-60 in 4 sec, i'd have wood for quite a while. but my bike saved me $68k and it's faster.

Something about the looks of it irritates me. But it's still impressive.

Looks like the driver's side headlight is bigger than the one on the passenger's side.

I saw this in C&D not too long ago... What an awosome approach to a sports car. Toyota's entire fleet is going to be hybrid by 2012 and this is an awosome place to start.

Now honda just needs to jump on the bandwagen and make a hybrid with powerfull motors in the -rear- Nothing would be more fun than a civic you could whip the back end around in

Looks like an NSX, an RX8 and a Ferrari had a 3some.... never the less its a good step towards treehugging... if it works. I don't want to find out what happens when one of those motors burns up. I some how don't think this is worthy of 'Supra' stature, and I don't forsee this to be much more than a wienie-mobile bigger-****-than-yours cruiser.
In the meantime, Corvettes turn 0-60 in 4 sec, get high 20's for milage .... for $20K less.
