I wouldn't exactly say that 'normal' was nonfunctional, that doesn't really make any sense. Also the use of 'oppressively' is kind of out of context there. Seems like you were just throwing in large words in an attempt to give value to a mundane point.]]>Jul 8th 2008 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/mindset-six50-solar-electric-concept-is-light-green-and-a-bit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/mindset-six50-solar-electric-concept-is-light-green-and-a-bit/Jul 8th 2008 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/mindset-six50-solar-electric-concept-is-light-green-and-a-bit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/mindset-six50-solar-electric-concept-is-light-green-and-a-bit/
Anyway, if 95% of the criticism is based on the external design of these cars, maybe that proves that they still haven't got it right? My criticism of it's LOOKS have nothing to do with how it performs or how inefficient our current fuel systems are, which is what you really seem to be harping on about. Regardless of all that, the car is still ugly!

Everyone has their own tastes, but I find it hard to believe that you think this car looks better than what is available now.

Oh and by the way, I think you meant consideration, not appreciation.

when i'm out on the freeway, i see a sea of ugliness. but maybe that's just because i'm into motorcycles, bicycles, or anything besides the glut of faceless sedans and SUVs smogging our air.

anyway, i was giving a caveat in general, not about this car, as should've been obvious.]]>Jul 8th 2008 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/mindset-six50-solar-electric-concept-is-light-green-and-a-bit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/mindset-six50-solar-electric-concept-is-light-green-and-a-bit/
We tend to see smaller more efficient cars on our roads in Britain, mostly due to the cost of fuel. Our cost of fuel IS actually ridiculous, we pay (at the moment) $2.50 per LITRE (which is actually expensive, unlike what is regarded as being expensive in the US, what is it $3.50 to the gallon?). So I imagine that you would not see so many 'behemoths', as you put it, over here.

It really doesn't matter whether your comment was about this car or not, my comment was based on ALL of these designs for electric powered cars. All of the designs are, quite frankly, very poor.
