Another thing to consider....is how is the US going to lable this vehicle? Is it a car? Or a motorcycle? If it is labled a motorcycle, then it may work as is in the US, but all potential drivers will have to get a motorcycle license, in addition to their drivers license in order to operate one legally. If it is a car....then it looks to be lacking some of the safety features required of cars in the US.

Personally....I'll stick with my Volvo, aka The Tank. Gets decent mileage, and is a fucking steel box. My wife hit some ice a few winters ago and slammed head first into a concrete embankment. Cop arrived, surveyed the scene, and estimated, given the damage to the car, the length of the slide, etc, that she was doing 25-30 MPH. A she did no damage to anything other than her car, he told her if she could drive it away....he wouldn't site her, but if not, he would call a wrecker, but then he would have to give her a ticket. No joke....

SHE DROVE THE FUCKER HOME!!!!!!!!

Not only that, the car drove fine for 2 weeks until we could get it into the shop. Headon into a concrete wall...and it still ran just fine. It looked like shit, but ran just the same as before the hit. It has sinced been fixed...but I am never giving that car up.
You're taking this too seriously lol...
I have seen a few of these other 3 wheeled cars driving around Boston. So, the Carver can probably be legalized here. VW is working on a 3 wheeled vehicle as well. IThe Carver is cool car and something that's probably a blast to drive. I would love to see a bunch of these a racetrack. Like most cool things, it's not practical. But I would love to own one if I were rich.
Top Gun is a great show. I wish we get nice automotive programming like that in the US. Speeed (Nascar) Channel and Car and Driver TV are ok, but not great.
And yes, Volvos and Saabs last forever.
