I felt like it had been a design study from a third year art college class.

Lots of blurb about "elements" , style and little substance.

My wallet stayed firmly closed..

Really? I drove one half a mile and found it to be so dynamically fantastic I was hooked and bought one. It's the best car I've ever had, simply because it's so much fun to drive and it gets good economy. Of course, it's noisy, there's no escaping that but I prefer it in every other way to the BMW 330d it replaced.

As for the JetCar. 48000 Euros? I could buy 8 low mileage Smart Roadsters for that!
