Response to "Flying car goes to market?"

People don't typically treat driving as a game either, at least not the ones with kids in the back seat.

Well, I assume since they will be flying this year it's a bit more far along than just a 3D render. Also, these people are based in Oshkosh, which makes me inclined to think they know what they are doing. I do wonder what it has for propulsion, that can go 500 miles on a tank of regular gas--this aside from it's road engine, no less, or is it like a tank, with a jet engine for the road? and what mpg does it get while driving?

The article seemed to be hinting that you take off and land at small airports, and drive from there to wherever you have to go. This seems to be the ideal mode of transportation for those who live (well) outside the big city and have a job in the city. And why do you think it isn't roadworthy? Obviously it was made to be--the wings fold up more than is shown in the picture.
