Styling preferences are personal taste. However, simple styling changes to smooth out SAM’s lines by integrating the rear taillight section, front headlights, and Jason Mask grill would make it MORE appealing to the masses.

I hate this part on their website:
"SAM can also take advantage of HOV lane access on the freeway."
That's total BS... top speed is 55MPH. There is absolutely no way you are going to be in the HOV lane and not get killed going 55. You'll either get hit or shot.
I think they need to use "targeted" as opposed to "is". As of now, the sales are nothing because it only will top out in 55 mph. It also only has a range of 60 miles (100 miles optional). That's not to any spec for the US, so I bet that 60 miles is only 50 using the US spec. Plus there's no safety data so who knows how it holds up when the #1 selling vehicle in America just bumps into it. Could you die? Could the batteries burst into flames and then that plastic body becomes a towering inferno?

This three wheeler is not something I'd ever buy or want to ever be in if I had to drive on a public roadway. From looking at it, the winter range is probably no better than 30. There's a reason why it's been around since the early 2000's and never been successful. It's a piece of junk and no matter hoe many colors you make it, it's still the same garbage can.

I wonder if these will break too.

I found this site. domteknika. The photo is lower on the page.

It seems to be a CREE SAM but with smoothed out tail lights?

Per the site, a hybrid version?

I don't know why the links don't work or become broken. I have tried again. The photos are at [URL]http://www.domteknika.ch/en/sectors[/url]

Just like the Cree Sam. It's broken.
