6800 bucks 84 mpg american made

The point is that building a car that is designed to encourage single drivers isn't what we should be moving towards. Look at some of the overcrowded Asian cities wehre they have a multitude of "mini-cars". Making the cars smaller just added to the congestion. We need to encourage car-pooling/ride-sharing as much as we can and car that only holds two people isn't the way to do it.

We dont need to do either. People can decide for themselves. Auto makers are just there to satisfy demand.
 
I love the idea, I hope it takes off.
 
Anyways... I took a look at the website and found this:



... Well this is either brilliant or absolutely stupid. Why a credit card? I think that people who don't have $6800 (which is enough for a decent down payment on a car) won't be too concerned about racking up credit card debt. A simpler solution would be a pay for use system (think cellphone or WoW accounts for you nerds). Car owners would have to deposit a minimum amount of say $100 into an account before the car became usable. Once depositing those funds, a code would be given and the car would function again.

Too many ways to scam onthat deal. If you never drive/ride the car, you never have to pay for it?
 
I want to thank any of you in advance if you buy one.

That will leave more gas for me to use in real cars.

Which means people will need to have a motorcycle license in order to drive it, which most people don't have.

It also means that, in many states, you (and any passenger) must be wearing a safety helmet.
