45 mph isn't going to cut it for American drivers. Or anyone else that actually uses a highway. It might be worthwhile as a corporate vehicle for theme parks and such, but it's not at all appropriate for consumer use, from what I can tell.
Erwos - For highway use, you're right, but for around town it would be fine. It also depends on the length of your trip. A 20 mile trip at 45 instead of 70 is only going to take about 10 minutes longer.
Oh, and it is really ugly. That would probably be the main thing that would stop Americans from buying it. No one would want to be seen in one of these.
