I saw a local Dealership ad in the local Saver mag/coupon mailer.

News to me. It uses a GM 1.4T and 6 speed auto and fwd.

Interesting.  I want a Morgan 3-wheeler very badly.  I want one of these not at all.

My BMW / Ducati dealer sells these.  A friend test drove one and said he couldn’t wipe the grin off.  He’s a motorcycle road racer so he should have some idea about how things are supposed to feel.

 I have not driven one but I can say these two things:  the photo above does not show it from a very aesthetically pleasing angle.  Fit, finish, and choice of materials seems spot on.

 

Edit: in my state this is considered a motorcycle and helmets are required.  However, you could probably get away without one unless you get pulled for other reasons.

Here is the thread from May, so yes, we've discussed them before. That thread was the first time I heard about them.

I think we may have discussed them even before that, maybe in a thread that was originally about the Slingshot, and then someone mentioned the Vanderhall

It seems like the general consensus from here is that the Vanderhall is much better engineered than the Slingshot, and pretty dang cool-looking, but that $30k gets you into some cool other stuff used.
