Take Two - They're Small . . . And Cheap!

I think that saying the "Big Three" are going to have a problem with this is an understatement.

Toyota plans ultra-inexpensive car


How ultra-inexpensive? According to the article, about $6,200. And they're talking new manufacturing techniques, new materials. I'm sure just reading the article is sending Detroit auto execs running for the Pepto.

What do I have to say? About damn time. Cars are far too expensive and complex, and frankly, structured, for the most part, in 19th century technology. I'd love to see something cheap, safe, and fun.

About damn time.

Oh, and where's my rocket car?
