say what?

chetrickerman

that sucks

shakRpahX8

what do you do?
private delivery service in your rx8?

hard to see
how some can't afford to have cars with 20mpg these days??
maybe it's just me...

monetarily its fine.

its the toll on the environment. i didnt buy a prius because it just sucked too much. but this thing looks awesome. 0-60 in 11 seconds is going to suck though.

also, it has really good safety structures.

^ say what? 0-60 in ............11 SECONDS!?!?!?

maybe by 2010 all standard cars will be 0-60 in 10 seconds? and the rx8 will be fastest

rx8 does it in like 6 or 7 seconds. what are you talking about? 10?

tajabaho1

which is why we need all cars to do it in 10

It is a Motorcycle.
So you need to wear a helmet while driving it. (CA Requires Helmets)
But if they made it, All the tree huggers would promote it.

just get a smartcar...

SlayerRX8

WTF? Kersh, you've had your RX-8 for 6 months. What's with the huge turnaround?

You knew about the gas mileage of the 8 when you bought it. There are plenty of other hybrids and fuel efficient vehicles out there.

This car didn't strike me as my cup of tea, but I did think that the 180 degree cameras were a neat idea.

Rems31

and if you're that worried about the environment, why don't u just bike?

I am all for these efficient vehicles, would be a great "up yours" to the oil companies if they were to become mainstream.

Could you imagine getting into a wreck in that thing? A simple 15-20 mph collision with a "normal" vehicle would crumple that thing.

Let me know how that works out for you.

SideOfBacon

time to revert back to horse n buggy if you want something good for the environment with good gas mileage.

Rootski

iTrader: (1)

Nope. Horse farts=methane.

tajabaho1

i dont think hitting anything with that "car" will result in anything less of a mild case of deadness

Rems31

ah as long as it's nothing serious...

tajabaho1

no, not serious at all, unfortunately, this condition may persist for a while
usually up to, but not limited to : infinity

Gish

I hate people like you. Here we are in New England with cold, icy weather, and all we have to do is all drive RX-8s and BAM! the world warms up (according to Gore) and the weather is nice and sunny all year long!

i would definitely like to know how you get 300 MPG in an electric car that doesnt consume gasoline? gallon of what? electricity juice???? and if it were electricity juice that your putting a gallon of, and it gets 300 miles to that, but only has a 120 mile range... what kinda POS can only run for not even half a gallon? of electricity juice....

chetrickerman

as lewis black says "WHERE THE HELL IS GLOBAL WARMING!!!

Juice

iTrader: (1)

LOL at electricity juice!

But I think you need to read the whole thing, taken from the link

The Aptera Typ-1 is available in two models:

All Electric - This model is powered exclusively with batteries and will get someone around town for approximately 120 miles depending on driving conditions. At night, simply plug the Aptera into any standard 110-volt outlet, and in just a few hours, the vehicle will be fully charged and ready for another 120 miles.

Plug-In Hybrid - The Aptera hybrid is powered by an electric drive train but is also assisted by a fuel-efficient gasoline-powered generator, which stretches the range considerably. In typical driving, the hybrid Aptera may achieve over 300 miles per gallon, a range far beyond any other passenger vehicle available today.
