Is that a flying car?

Today I had someone ask me if my car was a flying car. So far, my car has been mistaken for a hybrid, an EV, an amphibious car, and now, a flying car. In any event, it doesn't look like any other vehicle being driven on the road.

She is unusual only because almost no one else has one.
The car actually has nice lines,Honda could benefit from following your lead.
If they did and made it a hybrid as well, we would see some high mpg figures combined with a extra long electric range.
My opinion a factory build of your design would be sharper then sharp.
After all who could not like the look of the old German stream liners from yesteryear.
Flying car, flies past the gas stations regularly

I get asked what I'm smuggling in the back, if it's an electric car, if I have some "special" engine in the back( think Mr. Fusion), and (once) if it was amphibious.

No flying car, yet.

Exactly.
It'd have more boot space to euh... boot.

Jim / 3wheeler's Insight-with-boattail looks better than the original.
