Yes, I would give to my ex-wife and send her out to play on the freeway.

Obviously what works in America probably won't work in the ROTW. India and China have billions of people on bicycles that share tiny roads with tinier cars...so it's perfect.

Imagine how happy some Hindu family will be to not have to carry heavy ox meat around by hand...

Although I heard that the world's most expensive house--upwards of one billion dollars--is being built in India by an oil tycoon. Talk about a gap between rich and poor.

Correcto Spirit. Not intended for U.S. market so no way to answer the question. It would cost much more here by the time it had to meet safety standards ... but for china/india it will probably serve their purpose well although there will be global problems if it ever catches on. Even $2500 is still expensive for the majority though .. not to mention the havoc theft will cause. I wonder if they'll even insure it.

besides, I'm still partial to the Yugo 6-Pack for $2500 from back in da day:

The only way for these to catch on is if next to the close 'handicapped' parking places there were mini car spaces and the SUVs had to park 100 yards away.

Could you imagine driving this car on any road and having a F350 roll up next to you!!! Much less one like my buddies with a 6in lift rolling on 35's. I would hate to be on the receiving end of that mva.
