[cfg83]

Hello -

Just found this by accident :

CoolPictureGallery: Takayanagi Miluira: A Retro-Styled, Pocket EV from Japan - Dec 2010

According to the manufacturer's website, the Miluira has a range of 35 km (22 miles) and can reach a top speed of 60 km/h or 37 mph. Both figures attest that the little EV could be used for short commutes, as long as the weather has no objections.

When the Miluira hits the market in 2011, it will be priced from 6.3 million yen or about $74.768. See, we told you that this car really isn't very serious... Even so, the Japanese EV is quite eye-catching and we wouldn’t mind taking one for a spin.

Too much yen, but still neat to see.

PS - Methinks I see a monster-size Q45 emblem on the front.

Essentially an NEV (neighborhood electric vehicle)... Neighborhood Electric Vehicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia... lots of those around, for much cheaper, though maybe not quite as 'cool' looking

Would be perfect to meet Muffy and Biff in for a round of tennis down at the clubhouse..........
