I guess I just can't agree that a 100 MPH MINIMUM top speed is needed to be "safe" in traffic, especially in a vehicle designed for fuel economy.
I measured the trunk of the Metro, even if the car could get 100 mpg and go at least 200 miles on a fueling, it wouldn't meet the minimum STORAGE REQUIREMENTS for the X-Prize.
Anyone wanna bet some version of a Hybrid SUV will win the big event?
(Of course with the power everything removed to save weight!)
PS: Is that car in post 15 the one in the Art Museum in Minneapolis? I think I have seen it in person.
