A Tango of a Different Sort
28:35 | 
Size matters — especially when you put it in the context of an urban area with traffic congestion and parking capacity. That’s the thinking behind Spokane, Wash.-based Commuter Cars Corp. The company has unvelied an ultra-narrow, high performance zero-emissions vehicle, the Tango. But this isn’t a neighborhood electric vehicle (called NEVs, in the trade). It’s capable of 0-60 in 4 seconds, and superior handling around corners due to it’s low center of gravity, despite it’s angular appearance. Plus it has a safety cage similar to those of high-speed race cars, so you know it’s safe. As Commuter Cars President Rick Woodbury explains, it offers the promise of doubling capacity on our freeways through lane-splitting and lane doubling, as well as quadrupling the parking capacity with perpindicular parking, plus zero emissions for a cleaner environment, making this tandem two-seater a big part of the solution to our congested cities. Available as a kit car with the price tag of over $100k, the Tango T600 may not fit everyone’s budget at the moment, but the company is in the process of developing the Tango 100, with a price tag of under $20k, due sometime in 2008-09.

So cute!!! So fast too. What a perfect way to do our part to save the environment. Zero emissions, zero gas. I know I drive alone most of the time… no need to take up all the space of my car when it’s not being used. I really hate sitting in traffic too. Get inexpensive quick little car, I WANT ONE!!!

OP, admit it; if you met a woman with a pretty face and a fat bum who was this fast, you wouldn’t think twice.
From the front it’s Julia Roberts. From the back it’s Jennifer Lopez. It’s the best of all possible worlds.

Another well-conducted interview, interesting well-edited and nicely structured once again. A total press-relase maybe, but Rick Woodbury really knew his stuff - that technical information was coherent and convincing - who couldn’t like Rick Woodbury? Well done Matt.
