1. Sorry to say this
but that car is a piece of crap compared to my `88 Subaru.

3. They serve different purposes
I mean, we're really comparing apples (20 year-old production automobile intended to sell in the thousands every year) and oranges (2 year-old concept car intended to sell in the dozens, maybe, over a period of years) here. I'm hardly one to insist that the Fetish is a superior vehicle due to its supercar status; I would say these two cars serve very different purposes.

2. Not too expensive
if you are a CEO of Halliburton but then you would probably not be wanting one of those electric "tree hugger" cars.

What a great looking vehicle! Hope you get one. If so, can I come over and have a ride? ;)

4. Well, DIY, epoxy the neckties you get into the hood.
Really kits are available for a number of small car chassis some of them must be suitable for conversion. I know I've seem VW beetles converted to electric, and I know folks drop sporty bodies on the VW chassis.
