    Default Drive inside your own FE

    You may have seen this before, but I think it is awesome, I would buy one if I had the money!

    base price $109,000 a bit steep for my wallet
    The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.

    i'd buy it... but the chevy volt is supposed to have more range.
    who need a FE supercar... you would never use it so why bother when i can go futher on a charge in a volt

    I think this company will hopefully be the next revolution, like apple. They will be offering more affordable cars in the future, their idea is to set a foundation to build off of. Personaly I would not buy a GM product, well maybe a truck. I'm worried about the funding of GM's electric line, they laid of lots of people due to the economy. A company with people that are not really in it to make money means inovative design to me. These founders are already billionares, like paypal founder. I think this car is pretty awesome, looks like a mini ferarri-porsche-lotus. 200 miles per carge ain't that bad, at least for the begining of this being available to us. I'm sure that in the near future with a real demand for battery technology, charging times will be reduced and milage will be increased. I think they should use solar panels on the roof, for charging while parked at a store, or something like that. I like inovative design.

    solar roof panel great idea, the trunk deck and hood would be good real estate for solar panels as well.

    I would love to build an e-car, as a matter of fact I just added it to my build list.

    It would be cool to drop in a upgraded pack as the technology advances, even though the price would be really steep.

    I think about it like this, if your gonna dish out 100+ on a car, your gonna want to drive it, so if your going to work, or school, it could be trickle chargeing the whole time, I'm not sure that it could work while driving. I know that most people won't drive 200+ a day, but to have the ability to do that would be neat.

    yes full size, but very compact, for running errands around town. Two seater with some storage. if that turns out well maybe build an FE to mess with the local ricers.

    You must be rich to afford a project like that! You can make a sound track of some exotic motors, and play it really loud, scare them, then take off and leave them behind.

    no not rich at all

    should not be that much to convert a small car to electric.
