Its a horrible car. In UK, its marketed as G-Wiz. Check out the reviews by BBC. Not good.

Heh.. couldn't help but think of Disneyland.

But seriously, probably better than getting wet on a rainy day on a motorcycle. Good for commuting to work and back... unless that 18 wheel rig doesn't see you...

Tesla Motors FTW!
