Could Chrysler's GEM Peapod be the car of the future?

gem%20peapod.jpg

It looks cute, its name is cute and it runs on electricity. What more could you want from a car? A place to dock your iPod perhaps? Done! According to Chrysler (via Engadget), production will begin on the GEM (Green Eco Mobility) Peapod sometime next year.

I love the look and idea of this car but I have a couple of problems with it: one, no-one's spilling the price, which can't bode well for the budget-conscious among us (and that's all of us these days) and two: the glass-all-over doors look a little... exposing. Not to mention hard to clean.

Still, an affordable 4 seater electromobile, preferably with a trunk is something we been waiting for for som time ...
