"It only takes 5.7 seconds to go from 0-62.5 mph"

Not very impressive....

I'm sure it would be a fun toy though...

That looks AWESOME! A MUCH better layout than the Can-Am Spyder! Very sexy lines too - I hope the get produced.

Very Cool Indeed!

Already thinking of one for my son, then taking the keys away so the wife and I can Joy Ride

Article shows a pub date of Jan 2006. Is this an abandoned project, or is the web site wrong?

EDIT - Found the verdict. It died in 2006.

VW GX3 Scrapped in 2006

"It would not have been possible for us to build the GX3 with the purity that it required, at the price which prospective customers told us they would be willing to pay," Hallmark said. "Rather than offering a product which deviated from such a basic, honest and original concept, Volkswagen has concluded that, regrettably, production will not be possible."
"The idea of going around with three wheels is a quaint idea from yesteryear," said Stephen Pope, head of equity research at Cantor Fitzgerald in London. "It smacks a bit of stupidity to me. Nice concept, thank you very much, but keep it in the design studio."

Ditto on that. Maybe you could edit it and get rid of that link before someone without good virus software gets really FUed?

The link has been reported to the admins.

OK, I'm going to close and redact this thread. No ulterior motives...just no reason somebody should risk getting a virus because of a link. If somebody knows who owns the website and might want to tell them they have issues.....please do.

...and for future reference folks.....please don't quote the offending link....as it's just yet another thing for people to click on and a pain to cleanup. Thx.
