The design of the car is remarkably similar to the SMART car, or some of the smaller asian models, but they also make a truck, just in case people need to use it outside urban areas. With all the major engineering issues solved, the only major hurdle left for MDI is selling the car. Its expected that their unusual business model might help with that.

a Honda Odessey but like other of us fat
folk she was too big for the seat belt. Most other car makers offer seat belt extenders so
that everyone can safely strap in. Some offer them for free, some cost
no more than $30. Elizabeth contacted Honda
who has told her they will not make extenders. Further research found
that while Hyundai and Subaru also do not make extenders, nearly every other car maker
does. Elizabeth is trying to petition the NHTSB to amend a
Federal US regulation that would require car manufacturers to make
seat belts or offer extenders to cover everyone, not just people who
weigh up to 215 lbs, as they do now. Ironically, the National Transportation Safety
Board is big on it's
Buckle Up America program which encourages seatbelt use and offers
statistics showing how many lives are saved!
