George Clooney's Electric Tango Spied
by Michael Graham Richard, Gatineau, Canada on 11.25.05
Today is a slow day because most people in the US are spending time with their family. So since nobody is reading this anyway, we'll allow ourselves to get a little tabloid-like and report that the people at Defamer have spotted George Clooney's electric Tango outside his trailer on the set of his next movie, The Good German. As we've previously reported, the star of Syriana drives a Tango. Some may laugh at the small size and 9-inch 13-inch rims, but it does 0 to 60 in 4 seconds! ::George Clooney’s Tiny Ride, via ::Jalopnik, ::Video-Blog: REVA Electric Car in London
9" rims?
More like 13"

Sorry, you're right. I got the 9" reference on Defamer.

...at least Clooney's driving something new and unique (and electric no dinosaurs needed!) ok it's not a Fetish but still... (actually YOU KNOW he'd be into a fetsh if he only knew about them....). but at least its not another MOR Prius
We have an electric car dealership here in Seattle. They have the same problem--price. Mass production would fix it. Problem is, Ford and GM tried to get serious and could not generate enough sales to make if feasible. This is not a new problem. Had they kicked off these cars in sync with high gas prices, it might have worked.
Two thumbs up for this article about the Tango!

This thing is an enviromental disaster. 50 to 75 mile range with new battiers. Weighs over 3000 lbs. Uses lead-acid batteries that probably won't last a year in normal usage (daily commuting). Comapred to a Hummer H3 this thing is horrible!
