Get rid of teh PbH2SO4 batteries and replace with Li-ion technology that has twice or more capacity for the same weight...

I'd buy one... And did I mention it recharges in about an hour... Hmm. sounds like enough time to go grocery shopping...

And this car has been around for 5+ years I think. Imagine what could be done with modern composites...
Potential, yes, but far from mrket-ready. My Miata destroys that vehicle in terms of practicality, and I wouldn't dream of not owning a second vehicle with it. (At least not for long; the van might be sold today and it might be a month or 3 before I get my dad's truck...) Let's see a minivan-sized version and I'll hop up there on that bandwagon too.
