This car reminds me of something ... but I just can't put my finger on it.

I'd very much like to see Miles succeed but this design could make that even more difficult if it's competing with Mitsubishi i MiEVs, Chevy Volt's and assorted BYDs.

Seriously, as has been mentioned, that car is really really ugly.... The original gas model it's based on is boring and a bit non-descript. Still boring is better than feeling quesy when you see it

I saw an Avanti last year. Meh

The Infiniti isn't so bad though.

$40-$45K...and the price keeps ticking up. What in the hell happened to the $30K price tag? That sucks!

One of the comments sums things up for us:

omaticman 12:53PM (5/05/2009)Via a quick Googling I spotted several instances where the Javlon was expected to get 150-200 miles. So if I understand this right, the range dropped from 150-200 miles down to 100, and the price increased 50% from an expected $30,000 to $45,000? Yikes.

Of course as I'm commenting on the uncertainty of the Miles price, the Model S price isn't any more certain. Still they are getting awfully close to the Model S in price, and everything I've seen thus far says that if the Miles sedan and a Model S is priced within $5k of each other the Model S will win every time...
