A question for the geeks

My first reaction to the Tango was 'aww, how cute!!' which may not really be the badass look you're going for. In my opinion, though, it does beat Justin's 'modified old people scooter' suggestion.

Throwing on a missile rack would go a long way towards fixing that.

My main impediment to buying a Tango--aside from the fact that it's obviously going to cost an arm and a leg by virtue of its novelty and Limousine Liberal appeal--is that I would be worried that driving an eco-friendly vehicle would mean that I would have to become socially-conscious in other ways.

To keep people from getting the wrong idea about me, I'd be forced to announce my arrival to any given place by saying, "Just in case any of you were wondering, my reasons for buying this car are purely self-serving. In fact, I requested the model that runs off of fossil fuels and/or endangered animals and/or life energy siphoned directly from the heart of Gaea, but as it turns out, it's still in the prototype phase."

Say, that third option has real potential, I think. Reliable, economical transportation that doubles as a Final Fantasy villain!

I thought so too, but the base model is only like $18k.

Wow. That's actually not bad at all.

And just think; in three years, when the Tango becomes commercially available, $18k will be worth even less!
