[dsquire]

Coming to a print shop near you? Well maybe not but it could be printed out at the car dealer down the road. Check it out.

Looks like an oversized wireless mouse.  Hope the body isn't printed out of corn starch...  See it turn into a giant popcorn on a hot day.

What really amazes me about this is that it didn't come from New Zealand.  It's just their kind of crazy idea.

The concept is neat, but the execution is horrible.  As my wife always says, "why is it that electric/hybrid cars are so damn ugly?"

Looks like it already melted.

It's true.  The body design always seems to look the smallest possible container they could get everything into.

Pretty or ugly was determined on the drawing board, not the execution of the design. But, it's not overly pretty, I'll grant you that.

I think chevy are getting there with the volt, the only thing missing is a solar panel array on th roof to take advantage of all those wasted hour when it is parked, I know it would not be able to add a awful lot but every little helps.
