FWD and folding tin top?

Pah!

Pfft...even if it does hit the roads (very unlikely IMO) it won't be anywhere near as good as our cars

Hopefully it'll only ever stay as a concept..

I hope they do make it, that way it will make our cars more desirable

Sadly I think this is the future


every friday at work I am given the motoring section out of the sun newspaper and its always full of hybrid and electric cars,


And as we all know its getting harder to run cars like ours

I just think hybrids and other eco cars will become the work horses, and the exciting stuff will still be powered by petrol certainly for the time being. Yes I know Audi have the R8 E-Tron and Merc are doing an SLS E-Cell, but I suspect that's more for PR than for real sales figures.

There will be a day when everything is powered by something other than petrol, but it won't be a while just yet.

Why not have an eco car for pootling around town/commuting/food shopping?

Thing is though, if I wanted a car to do the things above, it'd need to be practical, not some stupid two seater with a tin-top.

I can't see the point of bringing a supposed 'roadster' to the market that's going to be a) heavy b) underpowered.

Might as well call it the Honda 307cc.

Good point. Eco cars atm need to tempt buyers away from their "thirsty" petrol alternatives. They can only do that if they can do everything their existing car can do............and save them money at the pump and on car tax. If it falls down in one area people won't be interested. So like you said it would need to be practical. So a a two seater isn't the best platform to start with.

That article is 2 years old. The NSX has been introduced and cancelled about twice since then.
