    This is totally cool. It's not just a "want" anymore, it's a "need". Pretty soon, the money spent filling up at the pump **for one year** will come close to surpassing- or surpass- the original price of the vehicle. That. is. high. maintenance.

    Lots of obtrusive cars. Lots of unobtrusive shopping trolleys. Idea. Lots of unobtrusive cars.

    Woah, this would be sweet! I would love driving myself around in one of these little mini cars, around town. :)

    What a great idea for big city transportation: a stackable urban vehicle. I remember seeing something similar to this on Discovery. Greatness.

    MIT has submitted a design for a stackable city car. It is meant to be a shared vehicle concept for congested urban areas - you pay as you use them, and so on. It's not meant to shuttle the kids to school. Unless you live in Manhattan.

    While public transportation is a great green urban option, the "last mile" problem is a real shortcoming- referring to the conundrum of the extra distance from your bus or train stop to your doorstep (while this may seem trivial to some, Midwestern commuters can attest to the annoyance of this problem). The folks at MIT think that they may have a solution to that problem: The City Car, a stackable electric two-passenger city vehicle, would combine the best features of mass transit, car-sharing, and personal vehicles in a high-density, high-convenience system.
