I put a reply in another post but I thought this could warrent its own thread. I just stumbled across these, they looks like an awesome deal and If I had the money I would definately buy one. The performance, styling, and fuel economy is all there. If they can bring the price down I think fully electric cars is the way to go. 0-60 in 4 seconds, top speed of 130+, 250 mile range, 2500lbs with all the weight over the drive wheels… sounds amazing to me!
