300 MPG?!?!?!

Average Miles Per Gallon:

Ford Pick up: 13
Honda Civic: 35
Aptera Electric Typ-1-e: 300

Wow, this thing looks like it's straight out of the Jetsons or something. Here's the really cool thing, it comes out next year? Are you gonna trade in?

yeah, like they've done to every other hybrid super car... This one though has already gotten a lot of exposure... It could be hard to make this one go hush hush

It's a "cool" concept, but it won't work out.

First off, it doesn't look like a car, people want something that looks like a car and this thing looks a bit stupid if you ask me.

Also, if I'm getting a car that gets 300 mpg, I'd like some storage space so that I can actually take it long distances, but this thing has next to no storage space.

Another company just trying to throw their name out there, then when they don't succeed because of their futuristic take on the world will just blame it on the oil companies.


EDIT:
Also, the whole "Green" car thing is a bit of a advertising ploy. Every car made today is made up of like 95% recycled materials

My 180cc motorcycle usually gives me 94 miles to a gallon and in India we do have 4 stroke commuter motorcycles, which give roughly 200mpg on road

Honestly though, if we're going to limit how people drive their cars, how bout we limit people to using non-chlorinated water in their pools since that destroys the environment just as much we just don't hear much about it because the greenies are getting paid to talk about cars.
