It’s one of the most exciting things I’ve ever done. Jerome (VP of sales) drove up, hopped out, and said “Have fun!” I wasn’t able to get a large amount of seat time - despite the crazy thought of hanging a right instead of a left and making a break for the open road - but it was enough to get a good impression of the car.

That impression: I want one.

Video is sitting on the GoPro for the drive and the 15 minute interview with Jerome. I’ll let all of you know when the post will be live - most likely Monday or Tuesday.

Meanwhile, I’m tired and sunburnt from the car show. Time for sleep.

Already more insightful than Jalopnik’s coverage!

Please reply to this post as I am not on here much anymore & I am very interested. I have high hopes for this thing. I am upset I didn't get to see it when it was in Kirkwood.

So... This is basically a Polaris slingshot version of the original mini, wrapped around a yugo in a Prius/VW XL1 body?

Um... no?
