i just watched a movie called.
Who killed the electric car.

this car came out in 1996 and i never heard of it.
looked like a nice car to own.
got a top speed of 85 to 90.
when it first came out it could go 120 miles on a charge.
two years later a new type of battry doubled the distance on a charge.
and now in 2006 some company developed a battry pack that would have
taken the car over 300 miles on a charge.

after paying 3.00 a gallion for gas this past year, i wonder how much
money i could have saved if i had one as a work car.

 

It's an ugly little bastard

 

It is!! I would look goofy to save money!

 

They tested some here in Phoenix, saw a few driving around. They were ugly....but it was a GM test program, they didn't actually sell the cars...GM still owned them.

 

Still.

It looks better than the Prius or Insight or whatever those Hybrids are called.

 

Yeah, I never understood why they make those Hybrids or electric cars look so damn ugly. If they made them look cool people might actually buy more of them. It seems to me they spend all the design budget on top notch engineers to get the car to function and pay minium wage to the person who styles the damn car.

 

A lot of celebrities had them and they were pissed with GM took them back. I dont know why they did though.

 

Oil companies started handing out death threats.

 

Looks like A saturns retarded cousin

 

the cars were never sold. a few were leased (hence: "taken back"). At lease end GM pulled them off the road. They weren't hitting their goals with the car, so they started over.
