The guys from MATRA seems to have something going with electrical cars - late March they annonced a coorporation with the american GEM company for manufacturing of their cars in Romoratin for the European market. The plant they use is not the old plant, it seems, and management of the business is based in Paris, but still it's interesting that they want to stay in the automotive business. And this is not the Pininfarina people, it's still the Legadere group.
It's also interesting that they beleive in electrical cars - though only as a manufacturing and marketing company for other peoples creations, but this may mean that they are on a path to something bigger. How about a revival of the P72 concept, but with electrical engine? Time will tell.
I found out about this by reading on

More info on GEM cars is on
http://www.gemcar.com/ - they have some interesting creations, e.g. their 6 person electrical car, the e6 - this is almost a micro-Espace, though it's open designs makes it useful only in southern parts of Europe!
