A few years ago Volkswagen was showing their GX3 three wheeler at all the major shows. I spoke with one of the designers at the LA Auto Show at the time and he said they were targeting a $17,000 price point. I told him I'd sell my Miata in a heartbeat and get one as soon as they hit the market. Well, it seems the VW lawyers killed the project for liability reasons so it was never to be.
It all worked out in the end though.... I sold the Miata and got a Crossfire!!
