Not a bad looking little car. I think people would buy it, especially women. It helps that it's coming from a major OEM (original equipment manufacturer). So you know it's gonna be fully crash tested and durability tested and not squeak and rattle when you make a left turn. Personally I like a lighter car because I commute alone and when I go out with the family I take the Honda Odyssey. Later someone can make an electric minivan with a range extender.

Actually, the price is supposed to be more like $24,000 when it comes out in 2009.
This looks like the one in the (Sharper Image or Neiman Marcus or Hammacher Schlammer?) catalog that got some press recently. It was $110K and had unbelievable specs. The new EVs are impressive.
