Comments on: Debut of the Phoenix Motorcars SUT (updated) http://www.ohmbre.org/blog/2007/03/09/debut-of-the-phoenix-motorcars-sut/ an unusual story of a boy and his truck Thu, 07 Aug 2008 21:02:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Bill Dale http://www.ohmbre.org/blog/2007/03/09/debut-of-the-phoenix-motorcars-sut/#comment-850 Sat, 05 May 2007 01:35:31 +0000 http://www.ohmbre.org/blog/2007/03/09/debut-of-the-phoenix-motorcars-sut/#comment-850 I enjoyed your review. I attended the event at the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles and rode the demo here; my brother, Jim, a charter Phoenix investor living in Houston, attended it at the Pack Museum and was the first guest to drive the demo EV there. Since its founding, Phoenix has been candid in its approach: to avoid literally reinventing the wheel, build everything as much as possible from off-the-shelf parts, which keeps costs low. I am so very eager to see thousands of these silent, powerful EVs crawling our freeways, and look forward to the environmental benefits they will bring us. Again, thank you for a lucid review.

I think it was first introduced, and later increased in size, for purely cosmetic reasons. A number of comments from Tesla at different times have implied that little thought was given to reducing aerodynamic drag, and a great deal of thought was given to making it look like "a real sports car", meaning a Ferrari.

The vehicle it's based on is not the Actyon, but rather the <a href="http://www.ssangyong.co.nz/actyonsports.html" rel="nofollow">Actyon Sports</a>. But I'm now sure that the "SUV variant" they mentioned is indeed the <a href="http://www.smotor.com/en/showroom/actyon/main.jsp" rel="nofollow">Actyon</a>. I will update the article immediately. John, thank you so much for this piece of information!
