It could be a good idea for those who live right in the city and dont really need a big car. But id rather just get a motorbike.

Imagine the price of the damn thing (I dont believe the 12K figure), if your that opposesed about fuel and price get a bike or if you dont like bikes get a Vespa or a 2nd hand Getz.

I am lost for words...seriously why not just get a bike over that...
Then again you could probably put fully sik wheels and a carbon fibre spoiler on it, whilst "tilting" around corners (the new drift)  :

 "It can carry one passenger in a seat behind the driver." i would hate to be that one passenger. i can't see any room behind that driver's seat.

Can't wait to see the long wheel-base version of that thing hehehehe. Seriously though, I don't mind it. I'd keep one in the boot of the 'lane for trips to Sydney where we'd use it around town. Except for one thing. How would it stack up in a major rear-end collision???

It would be useful if everyone had one in the city or there was an exclusion zone for large cars in a certain radius on the city, but I doubt either would happen. The same problem happenned with the smart car- you could reverse park two of them into a std car park, but even if you had one you wouldn't see any others parked so you could take advantage of it.

My son calls it a vacuum cleaner car. He says it's because it looks like a vacuum cleaner. He's only 3 btw.

Gee.... I wonder how effective its crumple zones are. oh, hang on..... There are none!
Wouldn't catch me dead in one of those things. Unless of course i went flying thru the winscreen of the F6 and then fell on the motor bike with a roof. |

in all seriousness though, it probably is a good idea for high flow traffic areas where space is limited etc.. But that still wouldn't get me buying one.

From the land where Queen Elizabeth resides... Briton has finally caught up with the Dutch - the makers of the 3-wheel tilting Carver.
