Maya 300 doomed to fail- Reality CheckThe Maya 300 is too small and too slow. This is exactly the kind of vehicle that killed the electric car. It is not surprising if oil companies will love it!
Did I see correctly some CEO stated that it would make a great 3rd car?! In the midst of the sub-prime crisis?! Who has the money to run and purchase three cars? Heck, you can carry more on a motorcycle!
More visions, more hallucinations, more, oh wait, no sales....
PLUG IN HYBRIDS and HIGHWAY speeds are the way to go. I mean geez, how many smart cars do you see in the city? One maybe two? How many Maya 300's are we going to see? ZERO. (Heh, heh, talk about zero emissions)
One rule of thumb, if something they are trying to sell has the word SMART in it, it only benefits the seller (smart car, smart leases etc.). It is usually snake venom for the consumer.
