TH!NK, the electric city car project bought
by Ford then unceremoniously dumped as part of the cost-cutting?
It's set to ride again next year with an all-new design and
improved usability.
Ford, like all the other major manufacturers,
bet on muscle cars and lost.... The company has been laying
off employees and scrambling for a car "that people want"...
Finally, after TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS spent on gas, wars, terrorism,
recessions,etc THEY'RE LISTENING!
Development work on the Norwegian runabout
is due for completion soon. The company is currently recruiting
for virtually every role you can think of, from sales director
and chief technical officer to factory manager and head of product
development.
"We are building an organization to meet the exciting challenges
ahead," said a spokesman.
The new car is still a small, silent two-seater, made from a rugged thermoplastic
that doesn't rust or dent. However, the styling is all fresh and the range has
been improved. While the old car did 50 miles before the battery went flat, this
one will do closer to 80. Standard equipment includes anti-lock brakes, power
steering, electric windows, and mirrors and central locking.
Production will start in Norway next year, but there's no word on pricing or
where it will be sold.
