BTW while it's illegal to drive on public roads, and while this probably broke a heck of a lot of convention center rules it might not necessarily be illegal to drive a prototype on private property, especially if the gas engine never even turned on.

Plus obviously the car was driven onto the floor to begin with. Yeah it might break some rules about who should drive it onto the floor, but that's rules again, probably not a law.

I could be wrong though.

@danio3834:
Considering that car manufacturers source parts globally, I'd suggest you start building that bone-mobile, because in a few years you probably won't have much choice.

But whatever, in a couple decades Chinese cars are probably going to be very competitive-after all they have a huge domestic market that they have to compete in, and competition drives improvements and development.

We need China to be in the race to zero car pricing.
God knows we can't afford our current houses, cars or Visa payments,
so if we can't buy cheap cars we are going to have to bike everywhere.
We know that doomsday scenario means a serious rise in cardiac events
and tragic spandex clad profiles.

So in a way...China is saving our lives and the asthetic balance of our our street scapes.

Plus the head honcho carts his balls around in a wheelbarrow.
Don't think any GM Ford or Chrysler top dog woulda done the same thing at a show.

You guys making fun of the Chinese are oblivious to the fact that China is a manufacturing superpower. Sure their auto industry is taking its first steps into the west, but in 10-20 years most of us will be driving Chinese cars no doubt. Just like our houses are now full of items and clothes made in China.

fastm3driver — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 11:44:38 EST

Finally some automotive people with balls!
I didn't see anyone driving around a Chevy Volt. Talk is cheap.
Seriously why can't they make a hybrid with a li-ion battery that you can plug in over night but only gets you say 30 or 40 miles. Then you would have a cheaper/lighter/smaller system that's more environmentally sound and would cost less and be useful 60% to 80% of the time. This would allow the tech to grow.
Basically a add on for a existing car that would work today and be say under $2000 premium. Every one wants to go full bore and the tech is just not there. Start smaller and develop the new "engines", get the production up then you'll be able to make the IC engine smaller over time.

From what i read the dude's a crazy idealist.

He started out as a battery maker but he's determined to build electric cars years ago. When he finally bought a small car factory to get into the business , everyone was so against it that the stock of company dropped like 30%.

I dont know if he's gonna make it or not but I really hope that for one time the market rewards the little guy for being crazy.

But will his car pinch your legs off at the knees in a crash? Different question. Judging by what I've seen of other Chinese cars, I'm guessing the answer is "Yes. Yes, it does."
