No offense Metro for this next part... But lets say the forkenswift was being marketed rather than the roadster.... A VC would get in - say cool... and that could be it.
Now sit that same VC in a car that does 0-60 in 4 seconds... You've got their attention.
I'm personally okay with it... It brings funding to the industry - and establishes a more mainstream feel. Sure, it would be more eco-friendly if people looked beyond the whole go fast thing - but that's not the case right now :/
