So, the only function of the 4 wheels is that you don't need a kickstand? And that's worth $200,000? I'm reminded of the words of Frank Loyd Wright... "form follows function." This is gonna fail big time.

Naw. It wouldn't fail, because its never going to get beyond the "concept" stage. My husband is a Dodge salesman and pointed out why:

1) It is too expensive.

2) The target-market for it is way too small to justify the expense of production.

3) It is in essense a toy, and nothing more. You're not going to ride this thing to work, or take junior to soft ball practice.

4) Insurance for this thing-- esp. against theft-- will be impossible to find.

5) If you thought the SUV was a moving target, this thing is a lawyer's dream come true.

The Parent Company is German. Their only market will be Hollywood Libs & rich "know nothings".

WEll, four wheels gripping the road in a turn makes for some awsome control and handling, with high g turns.
