If you've ever wanted to drive coast-to-coast in an electric car, you're not alone. Hopefully you can make the trip in a slightly less expensive manner, though, as $150,000 is a bit much for that car. Speaking of pricey, is the Viper too much these days? If you think so, take a look at the new Fiesta. Sane, practical, frugal. Would you get one?

Promise people the sky and you're sure to get some attention. That's what the folks at FOSH automotive did and then turned around and suckered people into reading a pro-McCain, anti-abortion rant that, frankly, is pretty distasteful. Good thing we're going to remember just how low some people will stoop.

On the brighter side of things, we can at least dream of a Jaguar hybrid and a VW Polo in the U.S. while we wait for Daryl Hannah on the Daily Show. Really cleans the palette, doesn't it?

Design. It's certainly a cornerstone of the auto industry. And as cars get cleaner from a fuel/emissions perspective, the look often does, too. What should we make of the Hinterland 1 concept car, then? I think there might be clone troopers inside, while the exterior - and interior - of the new Ed Hardy® Smart is also a place where design runs wild. That should delight more than a few people. As for the design of the rumored Cadillac "Volt", well, we'll just have to wait and see.

Need a peek into the future? AutoblogGreen's got some spy shots of the interior of the next-gen Prius and the new Opel Meriva. Honda has also let loose images of the 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid, so that should keep you satisfied for a while, no? At the very least, it's something to look at until Jeremy Clarkson tackles the Tesla Roadster.

More headlines after the jump.

As much as we like to think about the latest eco-friendly technologies in our cars over at AutoblogGreen, we understand that they don't come cheap. All that battery power in the Prius means it's frugal, but is a Yaris cheaper to own? And how high does gas have to get for us to celebrate our staycations? But hope may be on the horizon: this is apparently going to be the cheapest hybrid in the world. Like it?

AutoblogGreen discovered two unusual cross-country trips yesterday. In one, called WillieRun, the drivers plan to use just one* tank of biodiesel to go from NYC to LA. The other will see a wood-burning Dodge truck go there and back again. These trips both take place next month. What are you doing in September?

AutoblogGreen got a chance to take the new Honda Fit Sport out for a few miles recents, and we like what we saw and felt. There will be a full-on review of this stylish, high-mileage vehicle coming soon, but for now we understand what all the fuss is about. What we don't quite understand is what Newt was thinking. Or FOSH, for that matter.

A legal loophole lies behind the current generation of three-wheeled vehicles and has led to a few important questions: Are they legal? Should they be? Answers to these questions will be coming as legislators and companies work things out, but we can certainly answer today whether this customized Prius was a good idea (no). Schools around the country, meanwhile, have come to the conclusion that four-day school weeks are brilliant. Where were high gas prices when I was in school?

Where would you have rather been this weekend, checking out the classics during the Woodward Cruise or out in San Francisco looking on as 133 tiny Smart cars packed Lombard Street? Alternately, you maybe wanted to get in on the $1.99/gal deal that was used to promote electric cars in Missouri. So many good places to be.

More headlines after the break.

GM has taken us one step closer to the production Chevy Volt. Yesterday, the company released two more teaser images of the much-hyped E-REV that is due to be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in October. Yes, we can wait. As for cars you can buy now (well, soon), Ford has now finished Job One of the new global Fiesta in Germany. And, if you're really old-school, you'll want to check out these old and green VW Golfs.
