weird looking electric car.

Post by redlava »

I saw this car on the way home from dinner sitting in a Drug Town parking lot. It looks like a cross between a Toyota Echo and a VW Beetle. I don't know what brand it is or anything. It said "IT" on the front and "Electric" on the back. Why do they always have to make electric cars so damn ugly. No wonder nobody drives them.

It could be the new Beetle hybrid. Yes, I agree. But the only car that is not ugly, which is a hybrid is the Honda Civic Hybrid. Looks like a normal Civic 4-door.Inder Singh

I definitely like the second generation Prius. I would love to have one... I guess I need to go get on the waiting list now, by the time my Vibe is paid off and due for replacement, I may be able to buy the car. lolI wonder what the heck that car is in the pic? Definitely VW-looking.Anywho, while a tad goofy looking, it still looks better than the electric car in the attachment. Just like what Eddie on Grounded For Life drives. lol

Well I found out what it was. It is called the IT, short for Innovative Transportation. Made by a company in Delta, BC. Here is the website. http://www.itiselectric.com/

That "IT" car isn't made for anythign other than drives on local properties...Doesn't exceed 25 mph.Quote »The Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV) is a motor vehicle classification that complies with U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations.
