The roadster is nice looking, would be a nice daily for the gas milage and looks etc. I dont want to drive that one though because it doesnt look good to me (not sleek/smooth). I though that crash would have messed that thing up.

Prohibited in the US? Damn, you guys are crazy to prohibit a "green" car. You *absolutely* want the most possible pollution? wink1.gif

My friend and I saw one infront of us getting onto the expressway just yesterday. It took it awhile to get to 100 and people behind us were all pissed...

Perty cool.

First time I've seen a car that's an entire crumple zone. LOL

Can you imagine someone getting into an accident like if they weren't wearing their safety belt? Probably would've flown several yards out of that car. They should've put a crash dummy in there.
