the minicat car runs on compressed air. does this mean unlimited fuel for everyone? and it is said that apart from being ecology-friendly, the minicat also is lighter and more silent than the traditional cars of today. i just hope the design of the minicats are more innovative.  check the link, and tell us what you think.

It looks a bit strange, but anything which will spare the nature is good.
Also I think they cant count :] on their site somethere they say "in three words: the future is now" well I think it are four words |

LOL,
They're ugly as all get out - but if they save me money, I'm sure I can 'Pimp that ride' or something. Don't go very fast though do they? 50 km/h is only.... um.. *counts on fingers* I dunno how many MPH... Still, if it saves us money, they're going to be VERY rich. Panda |

QUOTE dont think this car is able to be pimped :S I mean, its so ugly Very true.. Can't just slap some spinners one of these, and call it 'pimped'. It'll take some body mods and such, which will drag preformance of the car, and cause it to need gasoline backup. Also impractical for anything but grandma's use. Impractical for businesses, etc. Panda |

as long as its cheaper than gas...but the cars are probbably cost more..and we need some cars that run without gas soon, cuz this is really stupid with these gas prices.. you have to waste half of your check just on gas almost to go to work so.

It does look a bit weird, it reminds me of those 'Smart' cars. Its a great idea though, refilling the whole tank, which lasts 200km with just 1.5 euros! The cars each cost about 9000 euros, and they are making van and taxi versions too.
I'll be great once they start production and you can actually test drive one. |
