THIS 3-wheeled oddity is really intriguing. Not really a scooter or moped, but it looks wicked and it’s not a car. I’d love to see these on the highways. A snippit from the Gizmag article it below. Check it!
gizmag Article: VW considers building a three-wheel car-motorcycle hybrid: “January 6, 2006 Volkswagen dropped a bombshell of significant magnitude in the automotive market overnight by showing a new three wheeled vehicle concept machine which it has billed as a crossover between sports car and motorcycle. That the mighty Volkswagen company should consider such a vehicle is surprising, but in an unprecedented move for any major manufacturer and a concept machine, the company has specified a price, indicating that the extreme performance and economy of the three wheeler could be delivered to market for under US$17,000 and inviting consumer response to the concept.”

The line to purchase one of these forms behind me! I’ve been a big three-wheeler fan, and in that configuration, no trikes please, since the 80s. If VW produces this, my scooter will be up for sale and I’ll be in line to buy one.
A short windscreen might be nice for bug deflection and I don’t particulary care that it be hybrid. Just make it like the concept rig and give it power and a $17K price tag and I’ll be there!

It is about time that major motor car manufacturer decides to build a decent three wheel car in the price range mentioned. Would be particularly zippy and light on juice.
