Pretty koool & serviced by Pep Boys! 3-bang car motor but they don't say anything about A/C which is pretty much mandatory here in Tejas!!! They already have over 25K pre-orders!

One of those would be perfect for me...........I drive only in town and only about 8 miles a day. I go to work, my shop, and shopping, so I really don't need a huge car any more.
I think I will wait until they are out and proven to be good and then I might actually buy one, or something similar.

Or build your own. I had an article a few years back of a guy who built a 100 mpg car. Used a small British car, about 1200#, a Mercedes reefer diesel and a comet clutch ran through the stock gear box. He was getting around 75-80 mpg in town and 100-110 on the open road at 60.
Yeah, if you did it like an old Morgan or something but those CanAm Spyders are just wrong, I just can't have any respect for any person riding one of those things.I saw one on line where a guy used the back half of a motor bike and welded it onto a frame with two wheels in the front. Ended up with a 3 wheel car that got really good gas mileage. That appeals to me. Maybe find a wrecked motor bike and start laying up a simple glass body.
