yeah right, we'll see if the oil companies ever let that thing stateside.

they could let it stateside, but gas prices would skyrocket

id rather waste money on gas and have a car that has more than 20hp

2/25/2006 5:35:59 PM

with it being so light, the question is how does it crash?

I dunno I drive on little ass country roads 60 miles a day. It would be nice to have something like this as its a pretty much just 65 the whole way to work. Right now I drive a Ranger that makes 25 mpg maybe, but if I could tear this bitch up and still come home to my Z28 Camaro, it might be worth it. Hmmm.

BTW it looks like my Ranger runs me about 8.8 cents/mile driven in gas alone, whereas this Lomero would run something like 1.5 cents/mile.

That's a sketchy/crappy website. Nothing but that one artists rendering. I'm wondering how you get in the damn thing with no doors.

Also there's no way a sub-1000 pound car could pass US crash tests, though I'm all for small vehicles.

There's no reason a 500lbs vehicle couldn't pass crash testing in the U.S., most crash testing in this country still involves a moving vehicle into a stationary object.

Maybe it has a big spring that you could deploy and it would let you "hop" over problems in traffic.

I saw on some tv show a while ago about some car Mercedes is trying to make that has round this kind of mileage, but is based off of a boxfish or something like that...

I don't see any doors... Or does the whole side pannel open up? I see a small gap on the side on top of the driver window. Still no door creases.
