I was in downtown NYC yesterday, and passed by company reps doing a press junket I guess. I have to admit I really liked the car/bike...and it looks WAAAY better in person than in pics. Anyone else heard about this thing?

 

I'm a fan. For $7k, to get a non-Chinese-made economy trike with a stick, A/C and decent city/highway performance numbers sounds like a compelling deal...

 

EDIT: Check out this article from TTAC about the financing program, as well as further details about the machine. Given the history of automotive startups it's highly improbable that this is going to get off the ground, but I'm definitely rooting for them! :)

If I lived in a city, maybe. But I think I'd rather rock a Mevabusa if I wanted a minimalist vehicle.

 

Hadn't heard of those. Looked it up and that's sick. I'd rock one. Elio wins in the price category though.

 

ELIO VS CTS-V

 

Thoughts?

 

:lol:
