55k for an xB.. and Tom Hanks bought it

(and it has volks! hahaha)

AC Propulsion has delivered the first eBox customer car to Tom Hanks. The actor and producer, a veteran EV driver, ordered his eBox after driving the first prototype last July. "I still have a Toyota RAV4 EV and never spent a penny on gasoline for it", said Hanks, "What AC Propulsion is doing is fantastic. I drove their tzero electric sports car a few years ago, so when they put the same technology in a four-door I wanted one for myself. It has double the range, goes fast, uses Li Ion batteries, and is incredibly roomy and comfortable. Oh, and I will also never have to put any gasoline into it!"

Nah - too much rear glass for a cabrio, and I think you can make out the antenna on the trailing edge of the roof.
