I got to see one of the previous prototypes when it was on tour last year. I am a big fan, not enough to put a down payment in.... http://junglemotorsports.blogspot.com/2015/06/autocycle.html

Can't see these ever being better than a one season car, so I'm out.

Unless they make a track/skis attachment for winter, then I'm back in.

As a 3.5 season car for me it would be great. I have a 7 mile commute on a two lane state road that the max speed is 40 mph.

In reply to kazoospec:

An Elio Snowcat would be super awesome. They should fast-track it and snap up the exclusive rural Canadian market. Then they could get some Canadian government funding: worked for Bricklin.

Hopefully it's neither of those, but the last couple years have done nothing for confidence with regards to these guys.

Fundamentally agree with this. Past several years have had the release of this vehicle pushed back again and again and again. None the less, they are still there, and still chugging along, incrementally making progress.

If it ever comes to fruition, I'm quite interested in it. I've a motorcycle licence, so that's a non-issue for me.
