There is now a Polaris Sligshot driving around in Central Ohio. It looks like a 3-wheeled dune buggy, so I doubt i'd ever see one on the road in bad weather. I was most surprised by the toothed belt drive on the rear wheel. I'm amazed that open sprocket meets safety regulations.
That being said, it beat Elio to market by a mile. However, I don't think Elio and Polaris are going for the same market at all.
