#13, But that's the only thing it's got going for it - it's greeness. Everything else that motorists use to gauge a cars' performance with - this thing fails at even coming close to churning out compairible numbers.
I'm not saying that fuel effiency is not a performance characteristic of a car - it is. It's just that for most people - a car being too overly green negates other important performance characteristics. This ZENN is better than a bicycle because it has roof for shit weather and a trunk for lots of crap - but you can't take a cruise in the countryside - and even if you coud - you won't get to the countyside any faster than 40kph. So unless you never leave the city - EVER - and you never plan to interupt it while it recharges to make an emergeny trip to the hospital or to take a girl out for an evening - it's just too green and not practical enough.
That's what seems to be a big blinder for many new car buyers nowadays. Green is in - but it's too in for some people. Enough that it has to take priorities over other things - become an obsession - which will lead to excessive worry. Imagine that everyday Cameren Diaz wakes up - she has to carefully regulate everything she does because she's scared that earth will never recover from her actions.
'Ohh! I ate an apple for breakfast! That'll add at least 100g to my body mass! That means I can't take my Prius out until after 2PM when I've digested and passed the waste!! Better get rid of it! *anorexic purging* Oh no! what have I done?! I've senselessly wasted a product of mother earth!! I could have given that to a starving African child!! *sobbing uncontrolably*'
The same can be said for supercars. A CCXR would be sweet - but inital cost - insurance - gas - and all that other shit make it just as impractical - but at least you'll make it to the fucking countryside, and won't die of green guilt along the way because you'll be able to outrun it! :)
