Fortune's Brainstorm Green featured cool looking hybrid electric cars.
Are they really cars?
The Venture One is the strangest looking hybrid car/motorcycle-like/star trek futuristic mobile 
I've ever seen.
It can turn on its side without falling over, and come up again!
Wow.
It's projected to go 100 mpg, 0-60 in 7 seconds and cost around $25,000. I was told its the ultimate motorcycle-like ride, and oh so much safer! To learn more click here.
The Venture One looked too squishy for me.
Call me fancy. Call me fuzzy. Call me wrinkle-free.
But between my blazer, purse, camera, and reporters notepad, well, I was better outfitted for the Think City, which was a good thing.
I really enjoyed sitting in the Think car. Great name. Driving? I enjoyed that too.
The Think is a fun car and comes in fun colors.
Halloween orange and fashionable black.
I drove the black Think, the color they'd made available, and I loved it.
At first, I had to get used to fact it didn't have power steering, (it will be possible to order) but this car felt sturdy despite small size, and the seats were comfortable, too. It felt great knowing it's a zero emission electric car, which they plan to price under the Prius.
And one snazzy feature: The Think comes equipped with a Wifi enabled computer, which I was told is better than the Prius's.
I saw a Google search function on the dash board and started getting excited.
I felt like plugging in some search words, signaling, I'm too addicted to the internet! But there's no time for that on the road.
It's time to drive!
I felt like leaving the premises with this fun, non-polluting car but the Swedish test-driver sitting next to me said, "No go." So I turned us around the hotel's "island" and, alas, my smooth Lexus got me home, tooting emissions.
Therefore, I do hope we see these electric cars from Oslo, Norway on American roads soon.
They'll be custom-orderable on the internet, similar to Dell computer's business model. In other words, smart.
Think.
