I think the first car would be "Malibu like" but electric of dual fuel. Something that the general population could afford and use for daily transportation.
Phoenix is a natural. I thought of that right away, borrows from Firebird.
First cars would be a small, like Saturn started. Not lots of different models, just a few. I'd go with a small gas powered car, a diesel in the same chasis, and a "sporty" turbo coupe. All 3 cars would be well optioned as a base, and quality would be the focus. You can't build on a base of sand, and crappy cars would equal a base of sand.
I'm not sold on hybrids, and I think one day people will laugh at the folly of hybrids.
