And i think the smart will still sell well, its got 2 seats alteast and a lil bit of trunk room. The clever is only 1 seat and i dont' see a trunk.

you're right about trunk space but this is meant for the commuter going into and out of the city.

I agree with Nass on this one Totally, just because this would be a very smart commuter car for anyone traveling to Toronto from places like Hamilton / KW / Aurora areas because of the fuel savings and ease of parking one of these, as most people don't car pool still.

None of the advantages of a motorcycle and all of the disadvantages of a motorcycle say I. Not to mention it probably will cost plenty compared to a bike; so much more that the fuel savings will never make up the difference in buy in cost.

Also, for those unaware motorcycles and scooters no longer have to pay meter parking in Toronto anymore and I always got away with "Boulevard" parking where space permited anyway (stuffing it in nooks and crannies anywhere I could or between a couple planters where the sidewalks were wide like on Queen St. etc.) There was even free motorcycle parking at the airport under the departure ramp at T2.

To own one of those trikes you will need a motorcycle license anyway as was the case with the Corbin Sparrow which is incidently discontnued as of a few years ago for the same reasons I stated. Trikes are ghey.

Well f*** for that much money I'd rather just build my own doombuggy style device. Cept with a v-8 over a 4 cylinder. Keep the weight right in check about 1000lbs and you could have one hell of a fun ride. Minus the road legality.
