Air Cars?

AMAZING AIR CAR FROM INDIA

This is the same company which a few months back-invented a car that costs only $2500 new. BUT it's not available in the USA . Why is it that a gasless vehicle that eliminates the reason to buy oil from foreign countries hasn't even been noticed by US manufacturers? How bad can this be for anybody, anywhere in the world -- except, perhaps, for the oil tycoons?



AMAZING AIR CAR!




The Compressed Air Car, developed by Motor Development International (MDI) Founder Guy Negre, might be the best thing to happen to the motor engine, and people all over the world.

The $12,700 CityCAT, one of the planned Air Car models, reaches 68 mph, goes for a range of 125 miles. It will take only a few minutes for the CityCAT to refuel at gas stations equipped with custom air compressor units. MDI says it should cost only around $2 to fill the car up with 340 liters of air!

The Air Car will be starting production soon, thanks to India 's TATA Motors.

Forget corn! Corn-based ethanol is a joke......

Here's a user friendly, pocketbook friendly fuel! What can be better than air?

6-seater taxi should be available in India in 2008:

I resent it, but can see why jobs are going to India and why we are importing

people from India to do jobs that Americans CAN'T or WON'T!

But I can't see why we have the most unfriendly energy congress in

U.S. history, or why they waste time fussing and fighting while we suffer.............


I received this email complete with pictures and thought that it had to be a joke. However I have been looking into it and it appears that there may be something to this. I wonder if our government will try to kill this due to big oil pressure.
I read about cars capable of 90 mph and distances of 800 to 1,000 miles per fill-up.
My first thought is that finally the future is here. I grew up reading about all the technology we would have by the year 2000, but it seems big-oil has been successful in holding us up in a pre-War World technology when it comes to transportation since it is an economical boon for them.
What do you think?
