Clooney's Tango 'embarrassing'

Los Angeles - George Clooney is embarrassed by his eco-friendly car.
The Michael Clayton actor - who drives a electric one-seater Tango car - says the vehicle is not only embarrassing in terms of its appearance, it also means he can't drive any of his friends anywhere.
He said: "It can be embarrassing. There's nowhere to hide, because it's just me behind the wheel and there isn't enough space for anyone else."
"But it goes from zero to 100km/h in four seconds, which is faster than virtually any other car on the road, so I can take off with a burst of speed if I get too many insults."
George also revealed he is upgrading the Tango for a Tesla Roadster, which should be arriving later this year.
He added: "Teslas are like Ferraris - it's going to make less of a dent on my pride than the Tango! And I can take passengers which means I can make friends again!" Bang Showbiz.com
