Smoke and mirrors for years. SAve your hard earned money until they actually have them for sale and have met EPA and DOT requirements. Bet if you search here, there's probably a dozen threads over the past few years. |

I think I could learn to like that! Cheap, efficient, and enclosed for comfort! The perfect work-beater. |

I've been really tempted to put a deposit on one. They have had a lot of setbacks over the years, at this point I'm waiting till they actually hit production to decide despite that significantly delaying when I could get one. |

I have a deposit on one. I threw down a $100 non-refundable deposit and received a t-shirt and bumper sticker. I figured that even if they don't build it at least I got a $25 sticker and a $75 shirt. |

OK... I'm getting 42mpg in my new-ish MR2. Also, it looks like a car. Plenty good for me, I'll pass on this thing. |

Taken him what, almost 3 years to raise $70 million of the "needed" $300 million? Yeah, like I'm going to hurry and toss him some coin! If they were in showrooms TODAY, he could sell them like hotcakes for $10K. Like my Daddy used to say, "Put a wish in one hand and a turd in the other and tell me which one is fuller." |

Thing is, they keep having 'set backs' for production etc 300M to get things going? Really? Why? My thing is that you should at least able to make a few of these things with 70M Enough to get a few on the road and get people having confidence in your product. At this point its just snake oil, and he's taken a lot of people for their hard earned cash |
