Marc Acres 3:16 418 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 How is that thing going to pass a crash test? How about more ethanol stations and compatible cars rather than coming up with something I have to wind up in the morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davcivic 11 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 I agree that there are other options. But not a lot of us can't afford a $35,000 uggly looking Hybrid....or a new car as it is.... Have you seen the Smart car, it passes crash tests.... it uses plastics and the same engine and transmission as crash protection...the whole cabin is a roll cage and is safe...it has a 3cyl engine(I think) and will give you somewhere around 50mpg but it starts at $14k I think...and tops out right under $20k. Too small and impractical for $14k....A lot of people can only have one car, and if that one car has to be a smart car, then forget it....too small...I rather buy a Hyundai or Kia for $10k....Now for $3k or $4k, it could be an extra car and a daily driver.... Of course you could find an old Civic hatchback that will give you 40mpg and only cost you $1000 or less... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
