I like Air Car better!
From engadget:
“MDI’s compressed air vehicle has been unofficially known as the AirCar for years now, but it looks like the company is now finally putting a stop to that, and officially bestowing the decidedly less catchy “FlowAIR” name on the car. What’s more, it’s also gotten official with no less than four different vehicles based on the technology, including the One FlowAIR open-top model, the Mini FlowAIR three-seater (pictured above), the City FlowAIR truck-type vehicle, and the Multi FlowAIR urban public transportation concept, all of which have been making the rounds under various guises for some time now. From the looks of it, the One FlowAIR will be the first out of the gate in 2009 (in France, at least), with the rest to follow over the next few years.”

I wish the US would get into this market. I would love to have a FlowAIR. If everyone had them, we could definitely say goodbye to oil.
Comment by starman1695 10.12.08 @ 10:21 amthey should be hitting new york streets at the end of 2009. read here: aircar in the u.s.. oh wait. they’re aircar hybrids. but that’s a good beginning.
Comment by ptinfrance 10.12.08 @ 10:57 amI’m on board with the FlowAir cars! (I wish they didn’t change the name, too. I would rather drive a MiniCat than a OneFlowAir!) This technology is “world saving” where all of the problems with oil are concerned. It would end the political battles, wars (that center around oil) and consumer spending problems. Not to mention the price of the cars is so much more affordable. I would like to see crash test statistics and videos, though. I won’t put my children in it until I see these results.
Comment by Kim Loffer 11.03.08 @ 10:02 amI live in Seattle Washington, USA and I would like to own a Flow Air car. How do I purchase one of these little wonders?

Info on US future FlowAIR products is available here. I suggest subscribing to their mailing list for future developements.
ALSO: check out http://www.thefuture.net.nz for a brief outline of related technologies… very interesting stuff.
Comment by gnomædh 11.15.08 @ 11:43 amThey will be available out of New England someplace in 2009
Comment by Susan Stephens 12.08.08 @ 9:23 pmIs this going to be available in Canada? How will air pressure react with cold Canadian winters? Hope this works out as I’m really interested in getting one of these vehicles.
