Wow! About time!

I am actually using A123 Systems batteries in my BMW right now. Pretty cool stuff.

I don't really think it's competition for the smart since the Think fills a different niche. With that said, I think competition would have some benefits in drawing attention to the microcar segment and hopefully expose even more people to the benefits of driving small.

Maybe smart and Think can even partner together, and their motto would be "Smart Thinkers!".

I thought about that, too, but then smart would get second billing. And we can't have that, can we?

It's not for me. Hopefully it will now have a top speed of more than 55 mph like it did back in 1999/2000.
