"I guess a fish has to do a lot more than a car on wheels on the road..And that may justfify that only a few elements are taken from the fish for the new design. Let us see how it works in the market place."

"I do believe this is innovative. And the shape copied from the boxfish will make a difference in fuel economy. There's even an experiment where they copy the shape of a fish to create a better controlable airplane. more info here: http://www.smartfish.ch/index.cfm/fuseaction/show/path/1-2.htm"

"Designing a car in the shape of a fish is NOT innovation.Aeordynamic shapes of fish moving in water is entireley different from the aerodynamics of a vehicle moving on the road. If indeed the materials of construction of the car are significantly lighter and there is a drastic improvement in fuel efficiency, I really dont see the innovation here."
