1. great idea for all involved :)
threat hunter ,   eisham, israel   (05.30.07)
solar and electric powered cars rock. i was just riding in a Toyota Prius last weekend, down in Southern Israel, and the car rocks. very comfy. very smooth ride. plenty of leg room in front and in the back passenger seats. and the amount of gas to drive from Tel Aviv to Eilat? 1/4 of a tank! a cooperation project between Israel, Jordan, Toyota (Japan) and Renault (France) would be a very good peaceful, profitable, industrial, capitalist project.
2. Jordan is too backward for this kind of project.
Frank ,   USA   (05.30.07)
Israel should do it alone. What can Jordan bring to the table? Not much.
3. Should attempt? No, must succeed!
Manny ,   Canada   (05.30.07)
Agassi says "Israel should attempt to be independent of oil within 10 years." The proper attitude for Israel, a country embattled by oil money, should be : Israel is running 10 years late on the road to oil independency and MUST SUCCESSFULLY move its arse to become the first country running without petroleum. What do you Israeli think when you pour gasoline in your SUV? I really want to know.
4. What will you call it? The Camel SXi?
Gary ,   Calgary, Canada   (05.30.07)
And will the Sports model have one hump or two?
5. #2
Ron ,   Los Angeles   (05.30.07)
OK Frank......... Go back and help them then.
6. Check every car coming from Jordon for bombs.
Boris ,   Toronto   (05.31.07)
7. talk talk talk
Yohanan   (05.31.07)
huge publicity over nothing doing. for two years talk talk - why not start building? looks like a spin.
8. Good thinking
Daniel ,   Israel   (05.31.07)
"Joint venture could help save the environment” Okay, put all forging and casting plants in Jordan and assembly line in Israel. No pollution for Israel. (Good thinking) But labour cost so high in Israel, who will afford this car? (What a doubt! Even before project goes on steam?!
9. build cars together
Voice of Reason ,   Here&Now   (05.31.07)
Wow 2 great car ideas, this one and the AIRcar from india. AirCar is a better idea though to refill it with compressed air you could just hook it up to the Knesset, plenty of HOT compressed air there. It just is not free as they are all overpaid anyhow.
10. take out politics-let Agasi work
Nina   (05.31.07)
In order to make this happen - put out politics and let Shai Agasi work. put out Jordan and Peres !!!
11. This is called emporing the enemies.
Antonio ,   Haifa   (05.31.07)
12. The return of the Susita?
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (05.31.07)
13. Project in fantasyland
Brod ,   USA   (05.31.07)
This project exists more in fantasyland. For this to take off well, Israel should do it alone without Jordan. Jordan can do their own similar project on their own.

mark ,   ca   (05.31.07)
Most likely the name will be "al susuta" :-)
15. Great Idea
leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (05.31.07)
However, I wonder how long it will last before it's attacked by bombers, and other "martyrs" .
16. electric car
gershom gale ,   jerusalem Israel   (07.02.07)
This would be an excellent project, both for local peace and for the local environment.
