I think this car is geared as a family car, thats where their target consumer income is at. They aren't trying to market this car to broke ass ricers. I would consider buying this as my daily/get my ass to work car. I really want to see the consumer reviews and reliability issues if any.

After the initial 40 miles on the battery charge, it doesn't switch to conventional power, instead, it kicks on a small engine used to generate electricity to power the car. The engine doesn't directly drive the car like it would on the Prius or insight.
