That's how I look at the car. A new direction for the automobile...that just happens to appease the tree-huggers...maybe they'll put a 2-seat sports car on the E-flex chassis one of these days...who knows, but it's possible!
I'm with Bob on that one...electrics, hybrids, diesels, and more fuel-efficient vehicles in general A) help us lowly middle class folk save at the pump B) reduce our dependence on foreign oil and C) may have a + impact on the climate.
