It is very polarizing indeed, I fully expect my co-workers and friends to come right out and tell me its either ugly or adorable, and all of them will think i'm crazy... i can't wait! :twisted:
Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Call me whatever, but I think global monthly sales figures between 1,400 and 2,000 (almost 1% of global vehicle sales) are pretty decent for such a new vehicle and concept. He's correctly eluding to the national subsidies and incentives, which have a big impact. But he misses out the lower oil prices since Nov/Dec 2014, which might have also affected purchasing decisions. However the cross-subsidy argument is ludicrous.
Posts and comments like this simply show that it is still a long way.
