Its ok - one of a number of v futuristic looking trikes coming onto the market in recent years. They are trying to create a new market segment - never easy - but their research will have told them that there is a market there!hope they are right???

Perhaps a bit extreme but more in line with what I would have expected from a modern 3 wheeler. I like the look of the Morgan bodywork but, from my sidecar driving experience, I don't like the retro style narrow wheels and tyres.

I have that same engine, the GM 2.4L, in my '13 Buick Verano and it moves it very nicely, let alone a car half the weight...
With my Buick I average 32 mpg so the Slingshot should do very well for mpg's if you keep your foot out it, but I doubt many will drive conservatively enough to do that.

wouldn't they love to have a M3W on the sales floor as a trade in ...  I don't think 3w owners are they're target audience It's like saying the Ariel Atom is in the same market segment as any four wheel morgan Futuristic looking ultra high performance vs. vintage looking, quirky with moderate performance on a good day, down hill, wind at your back and sun not in your eyes!!
