Jul 7, 2008 - 2010 Again?

 First it was the Volt, then others jumped on the 2010 release date bandwagon for electirc vehicles. (Keeping Up With The Joneses). Now VW says it has plans to release their "one liter" car in 2010.

I'm sure that we'll have all the standard equipment with this alleged release... enthusiasts who will proclaim this the ultimate solution and skeptics who will point out things like the fact that a single-passenger vehicle that is going to cost $30-$40,000 isn't really much more than an expensive toy, or at best a noble experiment that might yield some real-world practical concepts..

Gee, maybe they had it right in Car Magazine Online when they were talking about pricing for the car...

"Expect a large amount of subsidy from VW, which hopes to reap a slew of headlines in the current climate."

Imagine that. Looking for Mr. Goodpress.

There's that battery technology thing again :)

When I saw that story somewhere yesterday, the interior pic showed two seats. One behind the other - just like a Piper Cub. I'm hoping all the noise results in better battery tech - there was so much wind in Oregon last week that the utility grid couldn't handle all of it and they had to shut down some wind farms. It's a shame that lost power couldn't be saved somehow without stringing umpteen more miles of powerlines across the landscape.
