Water car update

[stitch626]

I will try to find the article again, but here's the basics.
Toyota has purchased production rights, and they state that the car will be ready by the 2010-2011 model years.
I can't wait. For reference: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1633

I'll believe it when I see it. No, I'll believe it six months after I see it.

[Teaos]

I'll believe it when Mikey says I can.

Just remind me - I might get preoccupied, and then Teaos will be waiting.

Any idea on how cheap these things will be? New technology aside if its a simple enough concept it might be cheap-ish.

It's not simple, It's Japanese, You8 can bet its gonna be expensive

Its not going to be expensive just because it is Japanese. The Toyota Yaris is cheap.
Anyway, if it is expensive, it will be because most people will pay for a very expensive car if they do not need to pay for gas. However, I personally believe that it will be in the $20,000-$30,000 price range for the tiny version and maybe around $40,000 for a sedan (for those in the US).

Honestly that's not a terrible amount. Especially since the resale value is going to be incredible.
