If my iPod had wheels it would look like an Aptera. This new car is slated for production later this year and will cost between $25-$29k. Technically, the three wheeled Aptera is classified as a motorcycle. Top speed is 85mph and it gets roughly 230 miles to the gallon for the hybrid version. The all electric version can run for 2 hours or approximately 120 miles. With insane gas prices, this futuristic auto is a fantasy. Let's just hope the project doesn't get killed by the oil companies. --Gina Pell, Splendora Founder, Week of 5/9/08
