Tesla Rav4 in 2012?

Apparently Toyota and Tesla are working on an electric version of the compact SUV Rav4, with plans to bring it to market in the US as soon as 2012! We can only hope Europe will follow. Nothing would be better than seeing the end of the butt-ugly, tin-can size electric cars (those days have lasted for way too long!) and entering the era of the functional, good-looking electric cars.
