Toyota Motor Corp displays its futuristic electric vehicle 'PM' (Personal Mobility with Visual Communication System) at the Energy and Environment Exhibition in Tokyo, February 13, 2004. The PM is a single-person vehicle which, utilizing information technology, offers vehicle-to-vehicle communication regarding each other's position on the road and driving data for coordination.

That things over the top to fancy and sophisticated and only holds one person. I would rather have a fancy golf cart that can hold 3 people.

They all look like they need a nice dose of "HEMI-POWER". ;)
I think the Toyota looks cool.
However, my kids just cast their eyes heavenwards when I say something is cool so it probably isn't - but i still like it. :)

Obviously a highly efficient engine. Everyone should drive a car with an 6.9 litre engine producing 20bhp <_<
:rolleyes:
:lol: :lol: Absolutely :lol: :lol:

All those who actually remember the street-hemi know that BHP ( brake horsepower) is a sissy term invented by sissies in order that they might refer to sissy, underpowered cars.
Real men know that the terms "brake" and "horsepower"
don't belong together.
Chrysler made a select few lightweight Darts such as Protak mentioned (though not convertibles) and sold them as factory drag cars: 1/4 mile drag-times in the mid-to-high 9 second range, close to 130 mph through the traps.
On the crappy tires of the day.
I know this doesn't excite you, 4th gen; it's an American thing. ;)

A mid 9 second quarter is impressive, I respect that. However, stick it in a series of corners or, better yet, a track, and I'll just laugh at it :lol:
The reason I'm not excited about American cars is that they are a large, inefficient engine with jelly suspension, crap brakes and excess weight. Engineered to go very quickly in a straight line and make a good noise, not to drive.
Horses for courses and all that
