Combining solar power with electric power to run eco-friendly cars seem to be the new "in" thing to do, what with gas prices making driving a downright painful experience these days. Despite the fact that solar panels aren't really efficient enough to give much power to a car, auto makers will probably start slapping them on vehicles to make people think they'll be more fuel efficient.
The latest entry in this new genre is the Six50 by the Swiss company Mindset AG, designed by a former Volkswagen designer. It's still a prototype, but they plan on pumping out about 10,000 of these guys next year, each costing about $78,000. That's pretty steep for an untested model, but hey, your mileage may (literally) vary.
