Driving a patio... LOL.

Even if something like that was realeased they would probably use traditional interfaces... steering wheel, pedals even if all they were only connected to a cable.

I see no problem with it. It would be a long time before it displaced conventional cars.

Damnit GM? They made a car specifically to demonstrate you could change its body and there is only one body. Ghey.

However all you crying for death of the sports car should know you could do some pretty cool stuff with that chassis.

It runs off an electric motor but there is no reason it only has to be one. Theorhetically each wheel can have an individual motor, which means as much hp/tq on one wheel or any combination of wheels as you want... So basically you could have a car that could simply drive sideways to park as all four wheels could turn 90 degrees...

Im sure you could have some fun with that...

Hydrogen isn't a terrible source and can be safer than gasoline. In fact, if gasoline was invented today, it probably wouldn't be approved as a fuel source.

It might be ugly, but it's a pretty cool concept. I think I would consider one as long as I still had something fast on the side. I like all the legroom it has in the front of it...being a tall guy, that's worth a lot on it's own. My left leg cramps up seriously in my Camaros on long drives...I just can't stretch my leg out far enough.

I just put mine under the brake pedal as I drive an auto... My right leg cramps from having to keep it bent constantly...

Both of mine are manuals...I don't have that luxury. I have driven my mom's 96 RS and it's an auto...my leg still cramped up after about 2 hours of driving.
