I have some problems with this vehicle. It's kind of plasticy toyish looking. The performance numbers look abysmal. I think I would be terrified to take this vehicle on the freeway. And seriously, who is gonna pay 32K plus $160/mo to RENT the battery. Not gonna happen. On the other hand, they just made a deal 10/15/07 with Enerdel for some sweet Li-Titanate batteries. This is the same company that said the could make Lithium batteries for like $1500 and got a grant from the US Advanced Battery Consortium. Perhaps with Enerdel's battery the price will be lower and maybe I would think it looked really cool in black with some sick rims. Who am I kidding, it's still ugly.
