84 MPG - Great
Front engine, front wheel drive - so will do OK in snow
Protected from the elements - that's good
BUT...looks like there's no room for storage AT ALL!
Also, no performance statistics at all. 0-60 MPH in what?....20 minutes?

What do you think?

Yes and I will buy one as soon as they're available. This is good ride here in the NW where it rains here all the time and snow sometimes.nojokenojoke

That was actually a link to them showing the car and then driving it off on GMA. very cool!!!!

They claim 0-60 in 9.5 seconds, not great, but I would not be buying it for performance. top speed over 100 mph, good enough for a ticket.

At the claimed price,
and in the claimed timeframe...

As far as I know they are going to certify it as a motorcycle, I an not sure I will be willing to drive a cage with a helmet.
