New car for $2500

[monkeyspunk79]

Just heard this on the radio. I don't know if it will ever pass US emissions and crash test standards...but what the hell.

54 MPG and 30 horsepower :lol1: But for running to work everyday? Not bad. Gas ain't getting cheaper. :bored:

Create your dream car. Hahahaha. :lol:

 

[monkeyspunk79]

Additional cylinders optional.

 

[XCELR8]

I'd rather get something used that still has a factory warranty than that thing.

 

[burnout42]

I can see that doing really well in europe / asia other markets......but Americans love their cars too much to drive in that thing. I wouldn't be caught dead in it. But wouldn't it be cool to drop an '03-'04 Termy engine in it!:rockon:

 

[SNAKE CHARM]

Yeah I saw that this morning on GMA or something, that thing looks like a rollerskate, probably has the life span of a bic lighter.

 

[Shifty Powers]

yea enjoy NEVER getting laid driving that thing lol..

ima go with ide never take one....

 

[aaandht]

Shit....I'd rather walk than drive in that tin foil mobile

Only 54mpg with a 30 horse motor? And it looks like the ultimate crapbox. I'll take my aging gas sucking fox stang ANY day.

For $2500 drive it a couple years and buy another one. Repeat. Honestly this is what 95% of the population actually needs.

 

[Worsedog]

Kinda chinsy for a coffin isn't it?

Exactly.

I'm not going to rush out and buy one of these or the similar SMART Car when it arrives this spring, but I wouldn't mind something sh*tty like this to drive to work every day. I have a 15 mile commute and I hate putting wear & tear on my Cobra every day. Why not get some POS like this that sips gas and is totally disposable? Why would I pay $25K for a car that would do the same thing?

I'll keep my Cobra and my other toys...but a cheap POS daily wouldn't be bad.

 

[Skrapmetal]

It's an enclosed golf cart.

Why not get a shitbox civic or something similar for that price(or less) and at least not die in a 5mph impact?

I paid 1000 dollars less for my car and its got over 5 times the horsepower. :rockon:

 

[traktrbeam]

Rolls off the line already stinky.

I heard about it on the news, they said it will not pass emmisons or crash test. It I guess is only being sold in India.

 

[N2DAMYSTIC]

For $2,500 why not have a set of TATA'sepper:

 

[monkeyspunk79]

Good point, I don't really want to die in a horrible crash.

I guess I'll just start looking for a Renault LeCar or Yugo instead.
