New 3-wheeler, I like it. Seems like actually a 4 wheeler though, tiny back wheels. I could see this type of design being the new future.

A coworker was telling me about it. The story he told me sounded a bit like a one-sided PR spin, not an actual thought about the "car."

I would be nervous investing or even preordering; I don't think they've finalized a power plant. I've seen lots of cars coming out recently that fit the "inexpensive" aspect of old world VWs, but not the "quality" portion.

I wish them the best. I like innovation wherever we can find it. I can only hope that entrenched interests don't lobby Congre$$ to put up barriers.

Can you imagine it decked out for the woods? Lifted, big tires it would go anywhere.
I know previous 3-wheelers have instability, bounce, and tracking issues which is why all cars have 4 wheels.
