Not exactly the discussion I intended to trigger...

I won't respond to any of the points raised so far, at the moment.

Instead, I'll point out that one of the ways Segway could turn this to its advantage, is if they could convince people who were considering buying a car, who did not already have one, that maybe a Segway would satisfy their need instead.

Obviously, that's a small subset of the market for cars -- for most buyers, a Segway would not substitute. And I don't know if that subset can be effectively reached, or effectively persuaded.

But that subset that COULD use a Segway as a substitute for a car is still a large number to Segway.
