43. Says the person defending a product which screams "Snobbish"
...in the name of a noble goal, global warming.

This vehicle will never do a single thing for global warming. The wealthy will just add it to their stable of Hummers, and other expensive toys. It will gather dust during those days that their owners opt to impress their friends with their gas-guzzling Ferrari, their gas-guzzling Aston-Martin, their gas-guzzling Hummer, etc.

I see nothing positive about this. At a time when the common man needs to find a way to get to work to make a living without sending the planet into an environmental tailspin, a car manufacturer is somehow proud that they're going to build an electric vehicle solely for those who need the least, and will utilize it for environmental purposes the least.

I'll stand by my comments here. The whole idea is wretched.
