As much as I want to like it, I just don't see it as a practical and viable vehicle for large-scale production. The exotic materials will push the price up above $30k and out of the hands of most of the people who could use it most. That's why what I most want to see is a modern Geo Metro type of car like the Toyota Aygo/Citroen C1, VW Fox, etc. A cheaper vehicle with excellent fuel economy will go a long way to bringing fuel efficient vehicles to the masses than exotic concepts like this.
