New York 2008: MDI's Air Car uncovered
While wandering around near the Automotive X-Prize booth, look what we stumbled onto: MDI's air car. The green plastic-y version that had just been uncovered - I think for a video team's camera - bears only slight resemblance to the rendering that appeared on the X-Prize screen. It looks even less like the previous version of the Air Car that we've seen before. We'll be sitting down with the people behind the Air Car later today to figure out just what it is we're looking at here.
And look at the cars still snug under the covers. Well, kind of snug. I'm pretty sure I see a CarverOne, don't I? We'll know more in a bit.

The version of the Air Car that was unveiled in New York appears to be the "OneCAT" model; the car on the X-Prize screens appears to be the "MiniCat" model. This is based on illustrations at Zero Pollution Motors: http://zeropollutionmotors.us/?page_id=54

I can not wait until this car is out on the market! They have a 6 passenger model that will sell for 18,000 and I think the one shown is 8,000. Can you imagine how much gas money we can save?????? This car is something that we all can afford!
