    I think the commenters that hate this have never lived in a big city. It's awesome, but could use a 2nd seat.


    No one wants to buy a vehicle that says "I'm alone"

    Frankly, I'm surprised the Lunar Rover has not been a great source of inspiration for automotive stylists. It's TV spokesperson will surely be Major Matt Mason.

    Yeah, those tires will totally support a quarter ton when they hit an American-sized pothole. Why do designers think the tires on their future-rides need to be kate moss-skinny?

    @Graverobber: There is a whole lot of nonsense just to look techie or trendy. Look at the stripe of leds on the wheel covers. Why are the wheels so complicated, should be a 13 inch steelies with some fat tires. The cargo box while trying to be super adaptive is crap in every configuration. This man should stick a postit on the monitor saying KISS.


    The Piaggio was succesful for doing exactly the opposite of this, and it was a trycicle without any leaning shenanigan.

    That truck bed looks almost as usable as the Hummer H2 truck bed. I don't see being able to deliver much with that.

    @#6: What a great idea. Get her to hold a metal pole while you're doing it. Put a flag on top of the pole so she thinks it serves a purpose. She'll never know it's a lightning rod.

    Why does everything "futuristic" have to look like a 5 year old made it out of an Erector set? It makes some of these cheap Chinese cars look stylish and well made.

    @leavethegun-takethecannoli: No... the only reason for it to lean is to help it maintain balance as it turns. It would, therefore, lean at an angle to keep your coffee in the cup, as opposed to sloshing to the outside of the corner.

    I think I'll just be the first one to say it: This looks fucking stupid. Completely hideous. It looks like someone beat a SmartCar with an ugly stick and tacked on a flimsy piece of shit bed.


    Thats ugly.
