A Pipe Dream on Wheels?

Well, that's what I thought when I first read about this new hybrid vehicle from a new startup company. Three wheels, looks like something out of a 60s Sci-Fi movie, who knows how much stuff it will actually hold? But if they really can sell them for less than $20,000 they may still have a chance.

One thing in their favor... it varies from state to state, but vehicles with three wheels are nearly always considered motorcycles, neatly avoiding all the complex and expensive safety and emissions regulations that govern cars. Which is both good, and, well, bad. Doesn't much matter until the first one comes out, so we'll see.

And until the first user decides to try too quick of a turn, flips it over into the path of an oncoming Hummer, and gets splattered. Then safety regs fall into place and the mileage drops to maybe 45mpg. Still an improvement, but nothing like the 330...
