    When has anyone put a traction battery in the engine compartment?

    I blame sources like the early Japlonik, AutoWorld, maybe Fox for spreading this misinformation.

    Don't be such a maroon, as B.B., PhD would say.

    It was a BOMB in the FRONT! Not the battery which is in the rear.

    So if I show the pictue to my wife, you don't think she'll buy into this for replacing our 400h? Oh well, just a thought.

    Bob, indeed you are correct. This time they're driving it with a solid propellant rocket booster strapped in the back.

    At least they had the good taste to remove the trim rings from the wheels. Looks great even spewing flames!
