i like the way some companies have been coming up with fuel-efficient vehicle options for us consumers.
Tesla has a neat car, but it's a little pricey (starts at $109,000).
there's a T-Rex, but it didn't really interest me, so i don't know the price.
there's the VentureOne (or Carver as i heard on one video) which is a little more interesting, but i don't know the price.
the two i was most interested in were the Aptera and the smart car fortwo.
the Aptera starts at $27,000 and goes to $30,000. the fortwo starts at $11,590 and goes to $16,590.
the Aptera is a new company based in california and you can't get one of those cars right now unless you have a california address. the fortwo is mercedes-benz.
if you'd like a few details about the Aptera, go here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeN1Okyy05Q . if you'd like more technical details about the Aptera, go here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XArAnuK3cW4&feature=related .
i've been excited about the smart car for a couple of years, but the Aptera .... it brings back memories of flash gordon, glimpses of the late 50's and early 60's, and thoughts of a simpler time. *sigh...*

I just learned that Google has invested $2.75 million in Aptera! Another $2.75 million went to a Texas company working on battery technology.
ReplyDeleteCool!
