Hi,

The on non-trivial thing that they need to change (IMO) is the canopy entry. This is inconvenient in inclement weather, and unsafe because you could be trapped in a rollover. They also do not appear to have operable side windows.

But I agree -- it's a gorgeous car! Hopefully the cost of construction is come all the way down from unobtanium to say ~$20K?
