Depends... If the wolf in sheep's clothing thing appeals to ya, this is a fantastic thing. When I lived in Honeoye Falls, NY where GM has their research facility on alternate energy systems I saw tons of the old GM EV1 as they were bought back and supplied to employees. I had more than one of those suckers hand my head to me on a silver platter while I was in the S. The 1st couple of times it just blew me away, then I learned

GM EV1- all electric

I think GM had most of these cars crushed. It's a shame, I guess there's no real money to be made if it doesn't run off oil & gas

Have you seen "Who Killed the Electric Car?", the documentary on the EV1. Very interesting. People who leased the EV1 where begging to keep it, but GM had them all returned after the lease period.

Oil & Gas.... anything that cut into that market in the 90's was quickly done away with.

the Tesla is built by Lotus (same assembly plant). I saw that on tv as well - that's prob why it looks so much like the Elise.

It's nice - not sure about the quite bit tho. I already miss the roar of the S.
