I can't imagine driving one on the road with all the SUVs and semis.

Some people might find it useful for quick trips. I can't see anyone driving that on the freeways though. I guess the price of gas may also have some influence.

Everything is possible to whomever can afford whatever. Personally I dont see many affording it. I was reading tonight about how new laws have been passed in reference to a discovery ofa chemical in oil that causes corrosion to the cat. converter..ZDDP. as we know the cat. converter keeps air polution down. Sosiaty is looking hard at our crashing enviornment. The new thing is called PLRO.OB. If your a investor this is suposed to be the thing.
Now in short what I just said was the oil company's will NOT allow there industry to die. When I was a sophmore in High school I was advised of a carburator that got over a hundred miles per gal. THIS WAS 1973. The oil company's bought the patont and buried it. They also hooked the inventor up with a high salary life time job. When all this was going on I worked at a gas station as ast. manager. Gas was 29 cents per gal. My 125 yamaha got over a hundred mi. per tank. SO I could ride all week for 29 cents. You do the math. In the late 60 read old encyclopidia's fortelling were we should be today. We are and will forever be heald back. Of coarse this is just my opinion and my life exsperiences. Maybe I'm just some kook that doesnt know what he's talking about.
Short answer......NO it'll never happen. A major waist of money

Probably with those who think little cars are 'cute'. Personally, what's more important, saving some money on gas, or potentially saving your life in a collision? I've seen the test crashes on YouTube; all were front-end collisions. OK, but not all crashes are front-end. Let's see them t-bone one with a Ram 2500, and see what the results are.
Come to think of it, the Smart Car would probably fare well - the Ram would just go right over it! LOL!

You must remember that these types of cars are meant for metropolitan areas, not cruising the interstate highways.
I had an old Nash (AMC) fittingly named "Metropolitan". It was ideal for around town, but too slow for interstate travel. I did take it on a 200 mile round trip once and it got 40 mpg more or less. it was a 1961 model...
I plan on getting one when they become available.

it seems like maybe older ppl would like it, just like the gem town car, but with a gas engine, but it would be pretty scarry to drive that on the freeway next to a semi

It sure seems like it will. I never thought the Hybrid would fly, but look at it now.
