    Well that's a much-needed vote of confidence from a world-leading auto maker. Of the fantasy electric/hybrid sedans that won't be available, I'd still rather have a Fisker myself, but I guess Tesla doesn't fit in that category any more.

    @is Happy_Nick: Daimler AG produces the Mercedes cars. The name Daimler-Benz died out sometime in 1998 when it merged with Chrysler, but went back to Daimler with Chrysler's disposal.

    Do the doors open in TVR Tuscan-esque fashion? Seems that there's nothing to grab onto to open it, but I suppose it's an electronic release.


    Either that, or this is still a prototype version.

    At least they'd have an entire assload of puns at their disposal. Minimizing the actual windows of the car, and so forth. Hmm, "restore" would actually be a great feature for the car windows.

    Not improbably expensive for a luxury sedan. Pleases me that the Civic-level equivalent can probably be soon made at mass consumption prices.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Is it the front wheel placement that gives it that Bimmer look?


    I'm not sure what it is but I thought Bimmer when I first saw it too. I always noticed how the front wheel is much closer to the front on a BMW then most other cars. Is that what we're picking up on or is it another design element I'm missing but just subconsciously associate with BMWs?

    @tande04: The rear end of the car reminds me of the latest 3-series coupe taillights, though a bit more expanded and curved out with less of a boot lip.


    And yeah, BMW likes to push the wheels out to the corners, so the front has little overhang. At the 3 quarter view from the rear, it has a pretty similar Bimmer stance.

    The big three were bailed out because it was argued that a their failure would cause a systematic explosion in unemployment throughout the country further damaging an already weak economy. It was beneficial to the economy as a whole to bailout these private companies. Tesla's layoffs would barely be a blip on the radar and would hardly slow the integration and availability of electric vehicles to the American public. Let em fail. Next please.
