The event went very well - Lots of people, lots of new things to see. If they are back here next year, I'd definately come back.

I drove the th!nk as well. The iMiEV seemed to be a more refined vehicle, and had about the same acceleration than the th!nk, even with four people in the iMiEV.

The th!nk is engineered differently, in that the regen is much more aggressive, and the steering seems more responsive. You feel more attached to the mechanics of the vehicle and feel of the road. Somewhat of a comparison between a sedan feel (iMiEV - comfortable) and a smaller performance car (th!nk - more technical). Both have their advantages. Drive both if you're in the market for either one and decide for yourself. I'd be happy to have either one.
