I mean, if you're going to radically change the way a car is powered, you might as well radically change the way it looks too. Right?
I guess that's what MDI (the company who has been pioneering, or at least attempting to pioneer, the compressed-air-powered car for the last 20 years) was thinking when they created the AirPod. I'm not getting any press releases in English, and my French is horrible. But from what I can tell, this new concept is going to roll off the production line in 2009...

They should call it The Coffin.
It looks like a wheelchair with a roof.
Looks like something off a carnival ride. I believe green junk is supposed to be ugly.
You can recharge it overnight with the compressor that’s in your refrigerator!
We’re one step away from roller skates and a battery-powered fan.
A little headwind, and you’re going nowhere.
but seriously, I always wondered why everyone uses a 4000 pound car to go back and forth
Isn’t there a market for a cheap (< 5K) transport with a tiny engine for going from point A to B each day? you don’t even need motorcycle power
CLARIFICATION: I am NOT proposing everyone be FORCED to own one, I just am surprised there is not a market for one. Maybe now is a good opportunity for one. I thought the Segway was going to be huge- but the $6K prices was crazy
At $3K i think they would have been an immediate hit and would now be mass produced down to $1.5K
I’ll keep my SUV, thank you, Mr. Green. I cherish my life and my passenger’s lives too much.
Does it comes with a Lego Man Driver too?
So, is 'green marketing' an oxymoron?
.
Where is the “Playschool” logo?
“Why do they always have to make “green” cars ugly to the point of being immoral?”
LMAO!
Good one!
If they made a Mustang per say, more “green”. Those would fly out the dealerships. I don’t understand why they design these cars “for tools, by tools”.
It’s called a moped. Ride one if you want to, but don’t make the decisions for me.
Raising the stakes on calling 'shotgun.'
