Good show, chaps! Very clever.

British CLEVER

Nice design, excellent MPG, decent top speed, good price point:

"A commercial version could be a decade away, assuming a manufacturer is interested, Owen said. He said it would be priced in the micro-car bracket of around $8,500-$17,000"

Good luck finding an automaker willing to manufacture and sell a car for 8,500 dollars - in 2016. European automakers might do it. Detroit will try to get huge tarifs slapped on it to make it more expensive and less marketable, or just buy it outright and shelve it. A Japanese automaker will already have one that does (n)times better in every respect. And a Chinese manufacturer will "appropriate" the design and sell a knock-off to the China market at a third the cost.

Nevertheless, I may buy one if it ever gets to market.

Sketch: Are ya happy? I sure am. :)
