To answer all the questions: straight only, no remote, $80 includes car & station & solar panel, it runs between 2min and 4min per fill, it goes about as slow as an 8 year can stand to walk or about as fast as an 80 year old can walk, delivered in 6 days from shanghai, good fit and finish but car pulls slightly to the right (5cm over 3m). All round - great toy. I now have one and it is cool! To answer all the questions:

When I first saw it a month ago, or whenever we all first heard about it, it looked like a pretty cool idea. Now that it's available, I took a second look. There's no radio to control it, and it doesn't appear to have any steering mechanism. So basically, I just charge up the fuel cell, and turn on the car? It drives itself as far from me as it can get, then I have to go chase it down, bring it back to the charging station, and charge it up again, right? Wow, and all this for only 80 bucks plus shipping? is it just me, or does this thing not turn at all?
