One car should be out RSN

http://www.superlitecars.com/roadster_spec.html

This car and the "electrolight" (an EV cousin) were supposed to be available mid January. The company behind them has been shipping cars (rolling chassis actually), so presumably they will eventually pull through.

Price is something like $35k, batteries not included (customer can specify battery type). Its also quite a bit higher than the gas version (16k, but you need to add engine and transmission).

Of course, I'm not sure where someone could possibly use such a minimalist car as a daily driver. Optimum climates may allow >90% use, making me jealous.
