- <p>Catching a plane? Here's a car you can stow in the overhead rack
- </p>
- <p> It is made in Japan, sputters along at 12 m.p.h. and weighs
- 70 lbs. The "suitcase auto," which will be on display this week
- at New York's auto show, takes about one minute to assemble. But
- is not intended for mass production. "We were just giving our
- engineers a blank sheet of paper to see what they could come up
- with," says Mazda representative Tom McDonald. Too bad: just
- imagine putt-putting to the airport and stowing your car in the
- luggage rack.
