I'd take a Geo metro any day over a dorky 3 wheel clown car that's one seat wide. ![[BS flag]](graemlins/bs_flag.gif)

it's a space pod full of air bags with tons of leg room. They are claiming it will hit 5 star crash test ratings across the board.
a helluva lot safer than a rolling death trap aka foxbody!
If that thing were to get side swiped it would rip the little golf cart front wheels sticking out clean off the car.

Everyone seems to be forgetting it's not a car, it's a motorcycle. And a $6,800 brand new motorcycle at that. Granted it's no Busa or Ducati, but it's hard to get into a new 500cc starter bike for $6,800. Also, it has a roof and windows, so you can actually use it during the winter.
As far as being dangerous, compared to an Excursion, yeah, it's not going to hold up to impact well. But compared to a motorcycle (which it is), it's going to be a lot safer.

I find that very hard to believe you broke off an oem stamped steel a arm.

Lol, how could you call something with a roof an doors a motorcycle?
That thing is nothing more than a glorified golf cart with turn signals.
Some seem to forget Motorcycles are ridden, and there's a difference between riding and driving.

Because California law defines a motorcycle as anything with fewer than 4 wheels.

I'm not surprised, some california laws are a joke. I don't see how any self-respecting man could own that and claim that its their "motorcycle" when they drive it around with a steering wheel.
