Elio -- not an overlay
I'd love to send the guy $7300 but the word I have is that his company is in trouble and the 60,000 or so people who have already sent him their money are likely to lose it all.
If he ever does get his car on the market it's likely to cost just as much as a Smart or a Civic. Just my opinion.

Wow-I've never had a driver's license because I've always lived in places where parking is impossible. I was seriously thinking about buying one of these. Thanks for the heads up.

Really? You mean I don't have to cough up $7300?

Your basic trike with a bolt on body. No new technology here. I would check with DMV in your state to see if you can register one. Also ask if AC is available.

You perhaps misunderstood the ad, as I originally did too. "American nothing" was referring to the SMART car pictured there.

3yr/36,000 mile warranty is slim...although it is only proposed to be a $7300 car so what do you want, right?
0-60 in less than 10 seconds on a 55 HP car...not too shabby...must weigh nothing, but then have to wonder about the safety claims.

It could be a replacement for my motorcycle which was stolen last January. Costs a lot less than a Can-Am or a Gold Wing trike.
