You seem to be a fan. Can you talk about the "why" of the aero choices, especially up front? They seem to have a "cow catcher" design in the pointy/slanty shape of the nose.

The "cow catcher" was to prevent air from building up under the car for high speed stability, as for the rest of the car, in order to make a car perform and handle well you need a great running gear and frame design, then you need to accommodate the batteries and then there is the generator if you ever want to drive more the 100 miles at a time, once you have every thing you need then you need to cover all this technical stuff with a body, not just any body but one that is as aerodynamic as you can make that covers all the neat stuff under the hood, the shape of the eVaro is not what attracts me to it as much as how it performs and how many miles per gallon equivalent it gets, also the high performance of this car, it has a lot more cargo space in it then you would expect, it caries two people very comfortably, it has great visibility and is very easy to get in and out of, there is two side trunks on either side that are big enough for a set of gulf clubs in each side and a few bags of groceries, then there is a rear trunk that easily caries two groceries buggies worth of stuff, this car can really handle. I like to drive aggressively at times so I totally enjoy the windy high ways, it also gets over three hundred miles per gallon, this was verified by the University of Fraser Valley the new FVT eVaro has twin motors gets substantially better mileage, the best part of the eVaro is it was designed and built in CANADA
