That is a great looking car, but I am not so sure that I could get in and out of it.  Plus, I would be a little worried that the semi next to me on the road might decide to change lanes and not see me - resulting in a collection of plastic parts on the highway and me being fined for littering.   :o

I wonder what the auto manufacturing unions have to say about the idea of printing new cars?   ;)
