With the lack of media support by tour organizers, alone, I can hardly blame them or GM and Honda.

All other trim levels of the Malibu still make do with a 4-speed automatic. Steve Bryce,

]]> Comment on Michigan wins North American Solar Challenge for fifth time by Tim Booth http://www.lotpro.com/blog/2008/07/31/michigan-wins-north-american-solar-challenge-for-fifth-time/#comment-645 Tim Booth Fri, 01 Aug 2008 01:52:09 +0000 http://www.lotpro.com/blog/2008/07/31/michigan-wins-north-american-solar-challenge-for-fifth-time/#comment-645 Congrats to the Michigan Solar Car Team. It is an awesome program -- an inspiration to the world. You may be interested in knowing a little more about the Principia Solar Car story. Hopefully the following link will open to the press release: http://www.prin.edu/college/stulife/solarcar08.htm The unpublished story behind the story is that Principia's budget to build and race their car was under $200,000 -- less than a tenth of Michigan's budget. That covered meals, hotel bills, transportation and all other expenses. Without diminishing the importance of Michigan's success, the utter frugality and resourcefulness of the Principia program may shed light on the possibility of cost effective solar vehicles in the near future. If I were a major automobile company, I'd be asking the Principia team how they did it?
