Ah....JD said they were single seat. NM, probably get one for the store if they come into production.

Looked like they may make a 2 seat version with a 2nd seat behind the drivers seat, according to one of the ics posted earlier in the thread.

If my commute stays off the interstate, I'd buy one in a heartbeat. But that thing, with dumbasses texting, talking, pokemon'ing, etc no way in hell. Twice in my pass commutes I've been happy I was in a beater Grand Cherokee as size helped, once against a 1/2 ton Dodge, the other against a full size car.

I like the platform though.

This is very true. None of my commite is really much highway much less interstate. 50 miles of the good ole Natchez Trace. Reckon how this thing stand up to running over a deer. Seem to get about one a year. Lol
