In Bert Grimm's time they had three colors - black, green and red - and they weren...

...neighborhood electric vehicle, or NEV, for next to nothing. Though NEVs can't legally go over 25 m.p.h. in a 35 m.p.h. zone, newer high-speed sedans, like the ones Nissan and Tesla will be launching, are highway-approved, crash-tested and able to hit 80 m.p.h. in seconds flat.
