Looks to me like just another delusion to keep alive the hope that one living in an unsustainable life style (moving about in cars) will somehow defy the laws of nature and manage to outsmart the inevitable.

If you think that getting one of these jokes is a way that you will manage to survive, then you perhaps are on the road to Mr. Darwin's trash dump in your super savior vehicle.

I want one of those! I'd think that "car" style would go great along with the ?young/college/green crowd!
Do they come in 4 wheel/All~wheel drive so I can drive too "Our" N.End on the beach sand???
IWANT ONE! and I'm 40 living in Wilmington NC...

And I think its ugly as all hell.

My point is that ALL CARS are a joke.

If you are one who thinks that more effecient, smaller cars are the solution you just do not get it.

Cars are fueled by energy. If there is not sufficient energy to sustain a lifesyle of cars, effecient or inefficient ones, then it is a small point selecting different cars.

If you believe that you can survive in a society where cars are the means of locomotion, then you are likely setting yourself up to be an evolutionary dead end, because you will not have prepared to sustain your life without cars and the many things that also are dependent upon stored energy.

Failing to face the massive dieoff consequences of the end of the energy era, and focusing on little issues like style of cars, is absurd from the point of view of survival. You are worried about a hang nail, while you fail to notice your four extremities are rotten with gangreen.

Gego is right, cars are not the solution. More energy-effecient cars are not going to fix the massive energy required to make them, obesity due to a sedentary lifestyle, gridlock, sprawl, etc.
