Gonna walk my dog, you?
I've been watching this for 3 years now and I'm beginning to think it's bullshit. I really wanted one. Still do.

I was going to post the same thing. Three-wheeled cars are like hovercars and cold fusion—always popular with bad investors and clueless technology writers, irrelevant to everyone else. It makes more sense to build simple cars with four-wheels. Which Ford, BMW, Daimler, Maruti, etc. do so well that it’s unlikely a three-wheeled car will ever gain market share other than as a collectible luxury.
Luxury?
It's 6800 bucks.
And you can finance it, use their credit card to buy gas and they double what you spend in gas and apply the extra to the car payment. With the fuel economy, the idea is that you'd be spending the same amount of money as you would on gas for a normal car, but half of that only is paying down the loan.
Seems like they have a very interesting business model.
But, yeah, I'd pay another grand or two for an extra wheel.
