That is interesting. Wonder what kinda of financial backing they have. Also, what kind of a dealer network will they be able to setup for sales + post-sales maintenance/warranty. It sure sounds nice, but for a small start up it seems hard to get into a game with the big guys. Just look at Panoz who tailored more towards higher end sports cars. Sure a 2+2 MR car that gets 60mpg sounds great for mid $20k, however color me skeptical. I have read about many small startups that aim for the moon, only to fizzle later on. I wish them the best and hopefully they can bring to market what they plan on doing.
