Yes, very nice... but... it's a concept.

How many concepts like this do we actually see materialize anywhere near the form we see them in at the car shows. (yes, some, you don't need to point them out to me)

I'm far more interested in zero emission cars when they become production... THEN they interest me. Especially if they are a price I can afford.

Our family runs on one car at the moment (2 adults, 3 kids)... we do so partly because of cost, but partly because we don't want to contribute any more pollution. Now we are getting near the time a second car will be almost a necessity, and we are so wishing that there could be some affordable zero, or close to zero, emission car for us to buy in a couple of years here in Australia.

What are our hopes?

Next to damn diddly that's what.

Yes this stuff irks me. Car companies make a big show of coming out with more efficient vehicles but can you get one? Nope. At least not in Canada - yet. Transport Canada prohibits the import of most extremely efficient vehicles here. And you can forget about the electric cars made here, but I heard that policy might change.

On a completely subject, if I may; why is it that concept cars, for the most part, tend to have these rounded off bulbous dumpy bodies? Why can't an environmentally sound vehicle with all its toys be encased in something with a little more lines? Something that isn't from claymation.
