	Good looking little car. I think if they can keep the price down they will do well. __________________ They that do not learn from history and apply those lessons to the present are bound to repeat its failures.

	This is the kind of inovation the world needs. Now if the car is made accessible to the standard middle class (lower the price) I believe the product line will be a winner __________________ “Sometimes we don't even realize what we really care about, because we get so distracted by the symbols.” ?

	Dump all the gizmos. Make it reliable. Make it cheap. Dump AC (power hog shortens range) but make sure the heater works. Then I will consider buying it.
