No, I would have to say that this would be the first Chrysler I'd ever be interested in.
 
Well remember, the 500 may be sold from Chrysler dealers, but it will have a Fiat badge, not a Chrysler badge. So you won't really be buying a Chrysler.

I read that the Fiat 500 will have a Chrysler badge in the U.S. when going up for sale here.

That's a good thing. I still am stinging from all the repair bills on the Fiat Spyder I bought my son while he was in HS. A cool looking little car that was horribly engineered. I wonder how Chrysler is making out with the GEM car they build. The big fat tax credit has to be moving their little NEVs by the 1000s.

that I had not yet heard of. Their brochure is well-thought out and presents the little cars in a good light. The e2 would be the one I would pick to drive around Willcox in. A little 2-seater with a top speed of 35mph and a range of "up to 30 miles."
 
Perfect. It would fit our pocked-up streets just fine. Actually, the City of Willcox is finally paving over the potholes of one of the north-south streets right by our home. They've done the curb-outs on the intersections and then dispappeared to some other project for now, the whole street needs to be re-paved when they get back. I can't wait-it's like running over little logs strewn about the street in order to navigate some of the streets in this town.
 
One of these electric carts would bump right over them easier, though.

The GEM car NEVs may be the oldest. It looks like Daimler bought them in 2000.
 
Over eleven years ago, Global Electric Motorcars introduced its first electric vehicle, and today, still strives to design the most innovative line of vehicles that are versatile, efficient and affordable. With more than 40,000 vehicles on the road, we pride ourselves in manufacturing the world's best electric vehicle.

I like the eS with a box on back for shopping. There are also companies that offer power upgrades to kick them up to about 40 MPH. I don't think I would want one any faster than that. Here is a company that has the upgrades for the GEM Cars. Steve posted it somewhere before.

These GEM cars are sold by Chrysler dealers here in San Diego. This is where you will find them in AZ.

Better hurry the tax credit may end Dec 31st 2009.

yeah, I'm thinkin' on it. I have to decide if it'll cost me more money or save me any money to get one of these little pups or just drive the Lancer GTS around Willcox. It seems to be almost like an extra toy at this point.
 
Why not drive the Lancer GTS until BYD's e6 comes out in 2011 sometime, then I can take it further on down the road, to Tucson, and still have more than enough charge to get back home to Willcox.

I am looking at what the used GEM Cars are selling for. They really seem to hold their value well. I would bet you could buy one with the big tax credit and drive it 2 years. When the real EVs become available sell the NEV for just about what you have invested. Here is an 8 year old one for $7500. That is crazy. Probably wants to buy new with the Tax Credit.
