Interesting concept

I agree it's a little pricey.
But I think it's a really neat concept for a fun fuel efficient commuter car.
I wonder how it would perform in an autocross, since it's narrow, light, the front wheel has obviously high negative camber and it can tilt fast (85 degrees per second).

I wouldn't want to commute in an unstable SUV next to a big rig. :D
It's still safer than a motorcycle.
(Btw talking about safety, I have never seen so many people driving motorcycles with more than 100 HP and not wearing appropriate gear (boots, suits etc.) as I've seen in the US).

It weighs 1367 lbs.
I agree it should have more power, than it would be really interesting. I would also fit wider tires, so that it'll have more rubber per weight than a Corvette C6 or a Lotus Elise. Since it has a turbocharged engine there might be some room to tune it.
Where btw did you find the pricing information?
I generally still prefer the carver concept over the ecomobile concept, which has a nice power to weight ratio though (190 HP engine and weighing only 800 lbs (!)). http://www.peraves.ch/monoe.htm
