Commuter Cars two person Tango

Tango-and-smart.jpgOK. Stop laughing. This is serious stuff. Come on, stop it. Wipe that smile off your face. No, we didn't manipulate the photo and no, it didn't shrink in the laundry. It may look kinda cute but the stats are outright amazing. Are you sitting down? Right. This little wonder accelerates from 0 to 60 mph (97 kph) in just 4 seconds. Oh yeah, and it maxes out at 150 mph (241 kph). These are not typos. Should you ever need to test this claim, you'll be protected by a racing-certified roll cage and ballast for sticky cornering.

All from an emission free battery that takes only 3 hours to charge, while letting you have a range of 80 miles (129 km) per charge. If you thought the Honda Insight was economical, you're in for a shock, 'coz the Tango has a total cost per mile, that is approximately 30% lower. Parking? Simply nose or rear into the kerb and you're done. Impressive huh? But bet you are still smirking. This could well be the future of commuting you're grinning at. (oh yeh thats one of those weeny little SMART cars looking like a big ole Buick beside the Tango.) ::Tango [by WM]
