It's from a major Car Company, has an acceptable everyday commuting range and is all electric and therefore will not require the maintenance of an internal combustion engine. Please bring it to the US market ASAP. This is exactly the type of electric car that I am waiting to buy.

Electric cars WILL NOT become popular among consumers until they lose the eclectic edge and start looking like "cars." Many people are not looking for something their neighbors will notice and bystanders will gawk at. I just want a car that works, gets me around town, can carry my groceries and won't kill me (or anyone else) with crap it pumps out of its tail pipe! Is that too much to ask? Give me 150 - 200 miles between charges and other wise work pretty much like every other car. That's all I want. I don't need to look like a space cadet. Anyone else feelin' me here?

In todays world looks really matter, the Volt is no beauty queen either but it's a million times better looking than this. Thats being said, well see how the price and performance stack up when it comes out for general consumption.

But then, I'm not Japanese, the super happy fun is probably lost on me. I think I’ll wait for a car I won’t feel ashamed to be seen in.
