GMs version looks like a rolling trashcan
Toyotas looks like art
lol is GM serious?
they went from the ugly hummer to this?
LOLLOLOLOL
Saw the title and thought it was going to be all about lovingly restored older women preying on young boy toys. Guess I'll have to head to Scottsdale for that.
While I like the idea of either of these (and aces to Toyota for much better style both in motion & at rest), i still have the same question I had when the Segway first came out -- how exactly is this a quantum improvement for most users over a bicycle, or a small electric/gas scooter?

If this is the future, no thanks...
Does the Toyota version remind anyone of the hover chairs in Wall-E and create visions of an obese future?
Uhhh, see above your post....

Hmmm. Motorized vehicle. It will need a horn, headlights, tail light, brake light and signals. That should help the cruising range a lot. Glad to know GM is on the right track [bang]

I didn't add those since it is a 2 wheeled vehicle, but then again, you can't be sure. Just imagine if it has to pass NHTSA crash standards.

Did you watch the video? They go into why those aren't required for this vehicle...

this.... is what happens when you take Federal cash. This was a joke GM came up with years ago, and now they are using it as a "see....we're trying to think outside the box, please don't fire us, we'll give back the bonus money" attempt. It's only coming out now because they forgot which closet they stored it in.
Looks like a device designed to curb the rampant over-breeding of nerds in the wild. 8)
