I want a small, fun roadster. Or a hot hatch. Or a sport wagon. And I didn't see one listed.

Tweak the motors to simulate vtech!

Toyota had a concept EV that simulates a manual transmission (including "stalling," coasting, and "engine braking"), that it showed off last year to some journalists. People who drove it say it's a ton of fun.

If someone makes an electric equivalent to the Pontiac Fiero I'm getting a drivers license. Small, cheap, fun.

Hell yeah. Or an MR2. Or an S2000.

MGs are still around, made in China but I see a lot of them on the roads here in Australia.

A Mitsubishi Legnum Electric would be an instant buy for me.
