The smaller Saturns look like they may actually be pretty good for an electric conversion.

According to Wikipedia, the early Saturns with a stick got up to 40 MPG hiway, and the body side panels were made of plastic, which is good for looking nice and not rusting

Plus, this particular one looks really nice in RED. Put some pizza pans on the tires and it would be classy...

I still need to go see what's laying around at Tom's Auto Farm sometime.
