New car for $2,500

This car will sell for $2,500 and gets 50MPG

I would happily pay $5,000 for it.

That's a death trap. :lol:

 

By the time you pay import and tarriffs, it'll cost $25,000.

 

That's not a car...it's a phone booth on wheels. :mrgreen:

 

Hey the thing has crumple zones and at least one cup holder.

 

Add in a port-a-pottie and a wet bar, and I'm sold.:lol:

 

Yeah, nevermind that the cup holder is actually a part of the crumple zones.

 

I wish they would sell them here. Even if they are buckets of poo, it'll force manufacturers to make less expensive vehicles. If you remember back in the 80's, they did when the Yugo and the Hyunda Excell hit the U.S.

Everytime I get frustrated with one of my trucks and go to trade them in, I get snapped back to reality with the sticker shock. $25,000+ for a decent truck, forget it. Everyone just needs to quit buying new vehicles and force the market back down to reality.

 

Alright, I'll bite. I read the article and comments. I saw something about it next to the body...what are crumple zones?

Thanks KDs. Never heard of that but I am not a car person either. Read all about this car sounds interesting when they fine tune it and make it a little safer (to this mom).

Heck, I'd have to WEAR that car to drive it!

It serves 2 purposes . . . when you get killed in an accident it can also be your casket cause they'll never dig you out of it. I bet that thing folds up to the size of a coffee can.

That's Steve Urkel's car.....8)
