.......great example of a wonderful car that people loved that used almost no fuel. What went wrong that they recalled them? I'll tell you what. It used almost NO fuel. haha I bet you they were paid or threatoned to pull them. No other reason that I can think of that a car that people liked that much would have been pulled rather forcefuly off the market.
With gas prices raising constantly I know I would sure be willing to buy one if I drove much. It would end up paying for itself.

GM's EV1......Even today's superclean hybrid cars are still polluters--their electric batteries are recharged by small gas engines. But up until 2003, you could lease a true zero-emission electric car from General Motors: the EV1. It was a science-fiction car of the first order, and it looked it--all swoopy lines and space-egg aerodynamics. None were made available for sale. When the leases on the EV1s expired, GM recalled the cars, over the ardent objections of many of the lessees, who protested, begged, and lobbied GM to let them buy their vehicles. GM would not relent, and, citing concerns over liability and parts availability, even took to crushing some of these high-tech marvels to keep them off the road
