Makes me think of the Th!nk OX.

[NeilBlanchard]

Yes, they are quite similar; though I think I prefer the looks of this car.

It reminds me of the Honda Jazz/Fit...

Fall 2010? So like in 8 months or so? I'm pretty skeptical that they'll deliver.

I mean look at that . . . that is not even a real car . . . it is just a computer rendering.

I really really hope they can do it but this smells like another EV disappointment.


And when will we get some prices for these cars? This, the Volt, the Leaf, the Think in the USA, etc.

Some nice French-Italian flair (note the paint design that create the leaping-arch effect on the bottom) but according to the comments, their reservation holders can't get any info from their company either or evidence that more than one, somewhat unrefined, show car exists yet. If delivered, looks like more of a city car than a freeway flyer.

Hey- that looked like PVs in place of the grill. I bet that won't make it to production.

They're on the roof, too. Kinda cool. I like that aspect of the design.

Might as well make the front surface area useful for something other than just a crumple zone. Fake grills look stupid on EVs, IMHO.
