Well, Now Everyone Who Hates Wall Street Can Just Root For Facebook's Stock To Crash...

Thanks in part to a factory overhaul, the only Atlantics rolling on their hybrid-powered wheels in mid-2013 will be prototypes. On the upside, we've learned more about the car itself, including a fairly brisk 0-60 tim... Read the full article on Engadget »
