In the future, people don't drive around with more than one other person or with cargo.

One other person? That looks like it can only hold the driver.

The passenger is supposed to sit on the driver's lap.

I always like new concepts as they might be the beginning of something bigger..

But are you sure you're saving if you have to lease the battery for a monthly charge?

In essence , the monthly battery charge is the same as one tank of gas (in europe).....so yep you are. But the best bit of the Twizy is that is not an actual concept...its going into production!

I know, I didn't mean it being a concept car, but that it's a new concept...

So one tank is gone, even if you don't drive it. I hope that's not a model they are planning to keep... But buying the battery would probably just raise the price.

I'd rock that on the golf course! But I wouldn't go on date in it (unless the date is at the golf course).
