Interesting departure with the rear doors.
But .. would make it a breeze removing a small child from a baby seat!
Let's hope this one succeeds.

I've always been really nervous with the future of the automobile seeing that it's fairly imminent electricity is going to play a large role, but this makes me feel better.

The fact that they can get an ugly tub of lard like that to go 0-60 in 4.4 seconds is definitely impressive. And that they can offer it relatively cheap ($60,000-$80,000) is also impressive.

Just for future reference, I still like gas better.

Another unremarkable, overpriced, largely useless car that'll sell in tiny numbers. Just like every other EV nobody wants.

it's not hard w/ an electric engine - instant torque. 1/4 mile numbers should be far less impressive.

the car is ugly. those doors don't seem very practical - i hope they have sensors & refuse to open if you're parked too close to another car :O

I agree, quite honestly, I thinks he doors are stupid and impractical, imagine trying to get a child in a car seat in an SLS, if an average-sized adult can barely reach the doors, how can a child? This doesn't seem very well thought- out to me.
