They seemed to think that it will do really well in crash tests, even tho it doesn't have to be tested (motorcycle) and that in 10-15mph crashes that the replacement parts should end up costing about $150

I look forward to this car becoming a reality, It may well be one of my cars in the future some time.
I was hoping that they could get honda to sell a 1ltr 3 banger with lean burn (albeit not a hybrid) ah well, so long 500,000 mile car
I am guessing that would add $3500 to the purchase cost or more.
