no i was saying that they just built this plant a few minutes from my house and its the only place they r manufactured in the US unfortunatley they have abs and a bunch f other junk on them so that they will meet smog and all that other crap but ive known of them for a while and technically its not like a big automotive breakthrough so im sure there is a good chunk of mechanics that dont know about them.

i wonder why they chose oregon of all places to build a plant. why dont any manufacturers choose colorado for plants? well, they do come here for high elevating testing...cayenne and veyron did their high elevation testing here. the cayenne even tested on pikes peak, which is practically in my backyard. i saw that video of the atom a couple months back. quite impressive. i wonder how that would stack up against the caterham (or superformance or whoever) 7 with the turbo 2.3L I-4?

Oregon sounds appealing to me and probably the rest of California for one. I didn't know they were planning on coming here. I wonder how the pulled off getting around all the US requirements as well. xD
