Loremo

Height comparison

[tjts1]

I would like to see real life offset frontal and side impact crash tests interior noise levels, AC, road holding, stability control, ABS, etc. The swing up windshield for a door is dumb. Anyone that has to live with rain or snow will hate this car. Otherwise, its an interesting exercise in aerodynamics, packaging and thats about it. It'll probably fail in the market, be bought out several times as the investors go broke one after another and end up as as an odd footnote of history.

The Loremo will never be sold in the U.S. ... correct ?

( I can't afford one anyways .)

Just for laughs, can you show us a size comparison next to a Ford Expedition ?

Saw the Loremo in a museum recently. Looks sweet, but it really is very small, flat and narrow. Very narrow rear-view mirrors.

I, for one, will trade a few drops of water for 150mpg I mean, my car's interior gets pretty wet from opening/closing my doors as is (when it rains of course). I've noticed several new cars that don't have rain gutters too.

I agree with the impact testing though - but, according to them, their dumb door is why it should fair better in such scenarios (even the headrests can act as a roll bar if necessary).

Height comparison to any 2 seater would be good

Smart Fortwo: 8'10" long - ~5'1" tall - ~6' wide
Loremo: ~12' 6" (384cm) long - ~3' 7" tall - ~4' 5" wide



Is it perfect? Probably not. Am I willing to be a first adopter - yes (if the timing is right )

Not initially - according to them.... It is left hand drive though - so that's hopeful

Loremo may not be dead yet?

Loremo looks big and spacious to me.

It may be a bit too small for some, but I do think we have to totally reconsider what cars "are" and how they are designed.
