Who's going to drive/ride a Seque in winter weather? Besides, I'd hate to be the one who rides one of these when the battery fails. Probably a warning exists though.

Who's going to risk driving a torpedo-shaped 2 foot high vehicle in traffic?

What's not to like about 300+ mpg? Who needs a 2+ ton SUV to shop at Trader Joes or go to the post office?

I can think of better ways to spend gas money. For example, on gas for the Porsche.

The problem is that this thing only goes 21.7mph. You couldn't even drive that in the city in Houston. I think the speed limits are low enough, but the traffic doesn't go that slow. As small and slow as the thing is, you'd need to drive it on the sidewalks to not get run over, but it's too big and too car-like for the sidewalks. If you want to go that slow, then you need a seque. Hell, you'd be safer and still gets tons of mpgs on a small scooter, and you could keep up with traffic. It looks like it has very limited cargo capabilities. I'd rather drive an original mini, or a smart, or a prius or any number of other simple high mpg cars that would be safer and more useful.

Not sure this was touted as an all-city car versus an example of a highly efficient vehicle. Yes. I too would sacrifice 100 out of the 300 mpg for a little more top end.
