Well it appears that at least the linked site does need flash. If you click on features and specifications the embedded video is flash (firefox 3.6)

So not quite true.

This is awesome. I was expecting to see HTML5 and was surprised when it wasn't. The doctype is strict and a lot of the interface uses JavaScript. The center navigations use svg and Raphael[1]. Either way, this is pretty sweet. And so is the car.

Give it a second and it replaces it with a javascript site.

I have click to flash set up and before I could click, it replaced.

I'm glad to see this. I for one am looking forward to the day when javascript is at the point where it offers a level of programing ease for animations, etc, that you get with flash. (It may have happened already, last time I did lingo programming it was called lingo, and I am not conversant with the state of the art in javascript.)

Or it seems that CSS is supporting animations and maybe that is a better choice over javascript? (because the browser, I presume, can optimize CSS a lot easier than javascript which can have arbitrary functionality.)
