#9 of 12 Subaru R1e for the U.S. market? by Sylvia

Nov 30, 2005 (7:48 am)

Subaru has had the R1 and R2 660cc micro cars on sale in Japan for a couple of years now, and there have been reported sightings of these little cars running around SOA's Cherry Hill, NJ headquarters. So it's not a secret that these cars are under consideration for possible sale here. What's new here is that SOA may also be considering the R1e for sale here. The "e" is for "electric."

First let Subaru sell the gasoline only version, once if people get used to it, then they can launch the electric version.
 
But hybrid, followed by plugin-hybrid will alway be the best option.

If they sold an R1h (hybrid), you might have to add some "Stabile" fuel additive to keep the gas from going stale in the tank (like what you do with lawnmowers), as one tankful might last you 6 months or more.

Market the hybrid if it could take the "most efficient" crown from the Insight/Prius. There's a big PR value to that.
 
Toyota might not allow that, though.
