I'm all for anything to reduce costs but really, the first time a Hummer or heaven forbid, an 18-wheeler with a load of something heavy meets this little rollerskate of a car in a collision, I'm thinking good gas mileage is going to be the least of every one's worries. I hope these things come with a helmet and about 40 airbags.Having been to Europe where gas prices have been high forever, they have lots of small little cars like this (and tiny little roads to drive them on) - in fact, in England, I used to drive a Mini before it was considered a cool car. But the point is, if you get in a wreck, chances are it will be with another tiny little car.
Strange. I don't think I could get myself into one of those little things. And where do you put the groceries?

I got throttled on c-d when I mentioned the "Hummer meets toy car" scenario! My Nissan Sentra is bad enough--no way am I getting a Micro-Machine.
At least that thing has four wheels, not three.
I'd need one for each foot!
At the Bank of America in that same Bandera/1604 location, I nearly wrecked into one that was hiding in a parking space. It was nicely nestled between an F-350 and a lifted Dodge Ram.
Funny thing is, those cars still cost over 10K, and STILL run on gasoline. No thanks. If either one of those two factors were different, I might consider buying one. It makes about as much sense to me as a Malibu Hybrid that only gets 2 MPG better than it's non-hybrid counterpart. What's the point?
