    Dennis Gage and Doug Demuro makes up 100% of the car videos I watch. I watch doug for the reviews of mainly quirky cars, but sometimes i just put on a supercar video. I watch dennis gage when im bored because it is always fun to watch.

    In addition to the 2 correct comments here, these cars have to have 2 stroke engines, to keep the weight down. 2 stroke engines are very dirty burners and wouldn't come close to passing muster. Yes, a few folks are the "I don't care, it's too interesting/cool/funny/unique so I'm getting it anyway" types, but your question is "catch on". They wouldn't catch on enough to sustain the factory. Electric versions might catch on when battery technology gets the size & weight and charge time issues solved.
