I say stick with the golf cart look. I think it is quite fetching, and probably sexier than whatever egg-shaped atrocity it will end up being. #gordonmurray
I have the greatest respect for this guy and I have no doubt that he is an excellent engineer. But producing a car that actually gets manufactured is a process of politics and economics more than engineering. So I will wait patiently until I actually see some hardware on the road... at a reasonable price. Go Gordon! #gordonmurray
I like reverse trikes, but the styling on this one is a little too car-like for my tastes. I can't tell from the pics - is it a jet-fighter style 2 seater?
$20k is on par with other vehicles like this, but is still too expensive, and the range/charging time/top speed still need improvement to be a really useful vehicle for most people. A gas model would probably get 50+ MPG - maybe they should offer that option.
I still want my Corbin Merlin. Guess I'll have to build my own...
@theycallmeham: Actually, it's our production prototype. We didn't have the windows and windshield installed when we had our photoshoot, so those are photoshopped in. Everything else on the vehicle is 100% real.

Oh it's my favorite British peer, Lord Drayson. Here's what he drives to work.
Did I also mention that he's blind in one eye and his driving partner is named Jonny Cocker?
Yeah. Awesome. #gordonmurray

It's like the T-rex's nerdy loser brother.
