Check this guy out if you would. The model linked would be around $41k US today. If Mr. Adams could bring a couple of these to the U.S. for some demonstrations, would the GRM community be interested? Would GRM proper be interested? Does this read like a bargain Atom Nomad to you? It does to me, kinda.
What are your first, unfiltered impressions when you see the car and read the specs? If I could import and sell them, would you be in the market? Do you know people who would be?
I've Zoom chatted with Mr. Adams and am looking for American feedback on his wares. Personally, I like everything he's doing, but wonder what other motorsports enthusiasts have to say.
So? What do you think?
In reply to Crxpilot :
It reminds me of a modern incarnation of a Manx-styled dune buggy. It's intriguing, but personally I don't see a need/want for a vehicle that could be reconfigured for street/track/trail. It's also way beyond the price I personally would pay for any vehicle, let alone a toy, but I also fully realize I'm a cheap bastard.
I have no clue if something like this could appeal to the SxS market(I personally don't see any appeal in those either), but if it does, then I think you may be able to find some success.
In reply to Crxpilot :
they seem neat. but it's directly competing with the Sierra cars.. which are already established.
I'm not your buyer because i'm not ready to drop $40k on a street car, let alone a toy that would be impossible to get registered in my home state of TX.
If it was me in your shoes, i'd make sure i wasn't holding any financial bag with floor planning any units that came stateside.
the novelty of this could be replicated with a used/new Polaris Slingshot and a used/new Side by Side and the two of those would cost roughly the same money as this one vehicle. and those vehicles have established dealers and OEM parts networks nationwide, not to mention aftermarket support.
I'm being a real downer, but that's just my 1000ft view of what the market is, as a total outsider..
I'd love to drive it around for a couple hours. Zero interest in buying one.

that's a thought.. basically have a rental business near a sand dunes or something.. this seems a lot less likely to roll than a SxS.
