Dont ask me why but they are or something.??

\"It is powered by a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine delivering 125 horsepower. Due to the light weight of the vehicle it is almost as fast as a Porsche 911. The GX3 accelerates from zero to 62 mph in 5.7 seconds, fuel consumption is 1.4 gallons/62 miles and top speed is 124 mph. It has rear-wheel drive and a six-speed manual transmission.

However, while a Porsche costs $71,300 in the U.S., the GX3 could be available at $17,000. A cooperation between Volkswagen and Lotus — the latter owned by Proton, Malaysia — could mean that the odd three-wheeler made by Volkswagen and Proton-Lotus is meant to be sold not only in the U.S. but worldwide.\"

Thats supposed to be able to pass US crash testing standards??

we\'ll see I guess. Pretty sweet if it does, but I\'d rather have a 4-wheeled Areal Atom (sp) or a Caterham Seven kit car.

That POS is the result of the Moonraker project. Apparently normal America wants a butt-ugly 3 wheeled... thingy.

Looks like it would be fun to drive, at least it\'s RWD... and they can get aound crash tests by making it 3-wheeled...

but would you really want to get t-boned in that thing? Not I.
