Greetings,

As promised, I'm stepping it up a notch here! I pulled a video out of our vault that didn't make it to the webcast list last November. It's the Mini E, one of several new releases at the 2008 LA Auto Show last year.

I love this car for several reasons, the primary being this; It doesn't look funky. Unlike the Prius (lookout, here comes more hate mail from Prius owners!) or Insight, this car looks like any other car on the road. I feel it's proof that efficiency need not coexist with ugly. I know, "my car looks like that to minimize wind drag". The thing is many of us buy cars based on appeal, not just practicality. Nope, now you can get something that helps minimize your carbon footprint and looks cool.

Enjoy the video, and open your eyes to the future of cars and electricity.

Happy Motoring,

Lance
