This is one of the coolest cars I have seen to date, one of the most environmentally friendly designs I know of also. Take a look at the video below and visit the official site. The price range can be anywhere from 25 to 40 grand. 4,000 have already been put on order, including one for Robin Williams. Popular Mechanics recommended.

There is a gas model (I read up to 300 miles to the gallon), an electric model (up to 120 miles per charge) and they are now making a hybrid.

If I had one, it be the orange & blue & white trim, with the Knick logo's on it. And yup, I'd advertise for them for a season pass.

that's a cool novelty item but a 120 mile range is not practical when u have to wait to recharge the vehicle over a few hours afterwards... once they perfect a self-recharging vehicle that runs on an electric motor & some other form of fuel, u can finally get away from gas guzzling air corrupting vehicular transport.

u know the technology exists right now to completely convert over to non-gas powered vehicles, but the car makers & oil companies would never allow it... this issue goes far beyond the existence of this technology, it's a lotta red tape & good old fashioned GREED that's getting in the way... the only way this country will ever convert to non-gas powered cars fully is when the automakers & oil companies can both get a big piece of the action.

I'm not drivng that shyt.

Way to be optimistic. Well, there is only one thing. The giant auto makers here in the good ol' U.S. have been hurting because no one was buying any of their gas guzzling cars.

So much for them not allowing it.

The people of the U.S. now know that they are more powerful then any damn Government or business alike. Hasn't anyone been listening to Obama? We are learning to be responsible consumers again. And being much more choosier to boot and thinking twice about what's good and what's not good. So **** the big auto makers and oil companies. People are frightened of all of this global warming talk and just this morning, the mayor put out a report of preparations to prepare the city for rising water levels that are expected in the next decade.

This is really happening. It's no joke and we humans need to help ourselves as much as we can to prepare for what is to come. Need I mention to anyone also that the world as you know it now, as you have been knowing it for a long time is going to go through some major changes and you's better start listening and preparing yourselves as to what your going to do about it.

believe me, until Ford, Chrysler & GM fully embrace alternate fuel vehicles (& not just fuel cell hybrid cars) & the oil companies figure out a way to profit from the switch over to alternate fuels, that whole revolution will not catch on in the US... u can mark my words... Greed is more powerful than innovation.

too weird? this coming from a guy that still rocks the gumby haircut...
