The Goal: To have the most innovative and radical design that challenges what we know today while your car can also do 100 MILES PER GALLON. That’s right. 100 miles per gallon. There are 3 classes and this year’s winner for the mainstream class is the Edison 2. Would we the consumer ever consider buying a car like this? Even though we know it gets GREAT gas mileage, what factors would our car HAVE TO HAVE in order for us to purchase this kind of car over another kind of car? Explain your answers.
