    If they deliver, I'm finally in for an electric car. This kind of car makes sense. Even though I have been into hot cars and motorcycles my entire life, I have had absolutely no interest in the hopped up EV's like the Tesla and Volt. Those cars remind of the people creating 10,000 sq. ft. houses with a LEED rating to assuage their guilt. On the other hand, I'm not into paying $30,000 or more for a garage built DIY car that will have lots of problems that can't be fixed by local mechanics. The EV Smart looks to solve both problems.

    haha, who are you trying to kid? They would drive it once for show and tell then it would be put up in the shoe closet. These people drive SUV's, Limo's, and fly in private jets, just like Big Al.

    I Think people are missing the boat on electric cars. I commute 70 miles round trip a day to work and do not use the car for anything else. I could care less which of the two cars is more successful just get them to the market so we have a choice. I drive a Ford Escape Hybrid and will buy the Plug-In version as soon as it hits the market sometime in 2010. www.FliteRecord.com
