Basically an enclosed snow mobile with wheels.

It’s led Elio to suggest the emissions from driving its cars 20,000 miles per year will produce lower greenhouse gases than the emissions of a cow.

But riding a cow on the freeway might be safer.

So far, it's enough of a buzz that over 15,000 people have put down deposits for the car, according to Elio's website

Probably some checkbox on the Obamacare website that enrollees don't understand what it means.

Saw a clip of Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear driving a 3 wheeler. A scream.
I’ll see if I can find it.

How many times to manufacturers have learn and relearn the lesson that 3 wheeled autos are inherently unsafe.

They made 3 wheeled cars in Britain for many years. Supposedly because they were taxed at the lower rate of a motorcycle.

Jeremy Clarkson flipped one half a dozen times during a 50 mile cruise on Top Gear.

Hmmm.
Won’t fit the kids, groceries or luggage. Might even have a hard time with the laptop.
Basically useless.

Very nice. But I’m not driving in one of those on our highways with cars and trucks going 80.

You wouldn't think a small, green, three-wheeled vehicle...

I don't like green vehicles, I prefer black or blue so, no sale.

We have been looking at them. I think we may order one. I like the Apple Green. You can’t get hurt too bad for $6,800.

At less than 7k I am sure this thing will sell to some folks. Certainly makes more sense than a Smart Car.

Messerschmidt produced a three-wheeler right after WWII but it was more flimsy looking than this proposed design.
