Ugly Electrics?
Picture of a 1911 Baker Electric (American Cars).
The advent of highways would spell the end for electric cars in America. Soon cities and states would be linked by automobile and people needed the gas engine because it allowed for a greater range. By the 1920s and 30s electrics were often used by the elderly to get around town and many joked that they looked like rolling phone booths.

Tata Nano
India's Tata Nano is the world's cheapest car. However, it has not reached the expectations that many had predicted. With a waiting list of up to a year to get one, many people are buying used or spending more on a new car.
