I wonder if they will sell any of these here in Canada... :wink-new:

I'm so glad you posted that! I passed one of those things two days ago, and for the life of me had no idea what it was. The three headlights make it stand out before you even see the rest of the car. The guy I saw driving was heading due West on the highway right at sunset. He was driving one handed with his other hand acting as a sunvisor. They are a strange looking thing. I can dig it.

I have seen them locally.

Sort of like a new-version Super 7 but with 3 wheels. I like it.

The Can-Am Spyder is an interesting 3-wheeler too, but I like the Slingshot seating arraignment better.

I'd feel better about it if it had another wheel.

For the passenger?

I'd feel better about it if it had another wheel.

Problem with a 4-wheeler is you run into automotive safety standards and requirements. Almost impossible to make it that light, at that cost, with those extra needs.

I like the Slingshot as a more stable motorcycle. If nothing else it's nice to have some interesting options on the market that are in a more normal-person price range.

I saw this video a couple of months ago that I thought was a good review. i think that Ecotec motor can be tuned to about 400 hp. Bring a bigger rear tire!

Interesting. It's a great alternative to a motorcycle for wimps like me.
