Chevy Bringing back the Corvair?

I was watching a program on the History channel recently about future cars. One of the cars they had on there runs on compressed air. That's right it had cylinders of compressed air under the car that ran a compressed air motor.

I can see it now, Chevy brings back the CorvAIR!

Of course it dosen't actually run on compressed air, it runs on whatever energy source was used to compress the air in the first place. The compressed air tanks are just acting as a type of potential energy battery.
