That thing won't fit half the "average" adults here in the USA.

  1. Gm is bankrupt.
  2. Except for golf carts, EV's are unprofitable.
  3. Ford holds the copyright on the name, Puma, as far as motor vehicles go. (See Pic)

Ain't gonna happen.

ETA: Ford Puma commercial with Steve McQueen (resurrected by the magic of computers). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAlklV5TZrE

This is the same worry everyone had when segways came out. Anyone seen a segway in a bike lane recently?
Looks like the kind of car you should have to drive after a single DUI infraction.

Pffft...I'd rather have a golf cart. They're a lot cheaper and at least I could put stuff in the back of it. What a POS. I can't believe GM these days. They should just do the world a favor and throw in the towel.
