Neil and smilingcat - I agree on both counts.
It might be time for a Very Light Car forum. CO2 regulations, CAFE, some OEM efforts, the need for affordable electric cars, the considerable expansion and application of lightweighting R&D, the sustainability movement and the economic argument for automakers -- all of this is moving in the direction of a Very Light Car platform and vehicle segment.
I already received a PM from one person who said he could create a forum. Do any of you know individuals who can effectively create and maintain what could become a high volume forum similar to what the Aptera admin did as a volunteer? Please send a PM and I'll look into it.
