As if Detroit didn't already have enough tough competition

Well...

0-60MPH in 4 seconds and a top speed of 130MPH certainly sounds pretty impressive for an EV.

Also, that is quite possibly one of the best looking cars I have seen on my List. If the end model ends up looking like the hardtop, then I will have a hard time trying to convince myself to *not* get one.

Heck, even if it has to go to hybrid or if they offer a cheaper hybrid version with the same body, I would still have a hard time trying to find fault with it.

Toyota is trying out something like this as well, except theirs looks like a cross between a Vector and a Lamborghini Murcielago; as well as being EV, it is touted as having excellent sport performance.

nice but the range is kind of limiting..

I'm going to have to agree with you Chris.

I saw this car the other day on the Internet and it has been stuck in my head every since. It's so lovely looking!

250 miles per charge isn't that bad--it just wouldn't be that great for a road trip.

Now to sell my Mazda RX8 and come up with the other $50,000-$90,000 to get one... (I read on Engadget that it should run anywhere between $80,000 to $120,000).

OMG, that is a sleek car.

I do not think it can sell well for a price tag over $50K. 250 is too limited.

Yeah, the price is the only problem. For $50K I'd go for it, but not for over 100.
