More Can-Am than Porsche, right?

I checked the prices, they range from $17.5 to $30k. At least it's a tandem, the Polaris Slingshot is side-by-side. Where the comparison falls apart is the drivetrain.

Can-Am have a 1-liter gas engine and rear-wheel drive. The Arcimoto is front wheel drive with twin electric motors for torque vectoring. I know what my choice would be, but I haven't driven a Spyder.
