    This tiny road-dwelling creature accelerates, handles and stops like a motorcycle but drives like a car.

    This may be the future to commuting for some, (if they can get the price down to a more affordable level).

    The Sparrow classic remade by Myersmotors seems much nicer and performs better as far as I can see.
    One of the best is a Ecom by Toyota but they only sell it in Japan so far. I want to keep asking my Toyota dealer for one and maybe with high gas prices they will finally see there is a market for mini cars here in the USA especially if they are clean electrics.

    why would they wait for gas pricing... it would be that they wouldn't see you... and that would be the SUV.. I looked at the Sparrow they don't have a back window, so you'd get run over and never see it happen.
