weird title: "Huge week for electric cars" and it is all old news. Then there are two full ICE cars...um I would say get a dictionary and look up electric cars they are not hybrids or ICE.

@Chris Bradley Question - There is mp3HD which is a new lossless format which mp3 players see it as a regular mp3 file. Try looking into that for lossless car audio.
