The movie explains more than I could ever really write into text.  The cost
of the vehicle, 3.500€ is about the equivalent of $5,100,
with a tank that you fill up every 125 miles (200km) for only $2
(1.5€), with a top speed of 70mph.  Is that,
or is that not impressive?

Would this vehicle ever sell in America, considering our harsh
patent process and oil industry?  That, I'm not sure of.  So far, it is only being planned
for release in Europe and India.

The
only thing I find more impressive then this; dealing with automobiles, is the DARPA Urban Challenge. 
I think I might choose to post about that next.

    Hey, it's Vee.

    I want this car.

    Badly.

    Is
    it being sold, or just like every other environment and financially friendly car, being stowed away in the
    hopes of one day being offered to the masses?

    I WANT WANT
    WANT!
