Watch the news story (Flash 8 or higher required).

Go to: http://www.cbs8.com/

In the scrolling list under "News 8 Video," click on "Jetsons-style Car Gets Space Age Mileage"

1. I like it. My first impression when I saw the subject line
was to say "bullshit," but I watched the video. Very cool. Still a bit pricey for my modest income, but not at all unreasonable for what's being offered.

2. With the price of gas these days, it wouldn't take long to make up the difference.
You could get all the way across the country on 10 gallons.

3. I wonder how'd it hold up in a heavy wind strom?
Looks like a small plane.

5. I'd love one of those.
Can't afford it, but, still would love to replace the current 200K mile 4-cyl with an Aptera.

Have they gotten highway approval?

6. I doubt it. Their web site is blank, but they are taking pre-orders according to that news video.
