Re: The Merlin Coup will get 70 - 90 mpg fuel economy

Apparently one of Corbin Motors vehicles will be featured in the new Austin Powers movie. Looks like they have a number of products in the pipeline...

The Merlin Coup is designed for the commuter and will get 70-90 mpg fuel economy, and drive 300-400 miles on a single tank of gas.

"87% of commuters in the US travel 18 miles or less to work daily… 93% of those do so alone."

"That's what we say when people ask, "Are you going to build a two-seater next?" We just don't believe the world needs another seven passenger Sport Utility Vehicle on the freeway to take ONE person to work. Sure, maybe your big SUV can pull tree stumps, but let's see you cruise it to work for about a penny a mile and park it in a motorcycle parking spot. Leave the Sport Utility in the driveway for the weekend family outings and drive something efficient to work. Heck, with the money you save on gas take them to the mall!"

SUVs have become an unachievable status symbol, and most guys my age just can't afford one. They keep catering to people who are willing to spend 25% of their income to buy one "on time" with substantial monthly payments. I just don't want to live like that. This car looks good, and it also seems to be affordable. The big automakers don't think there's a market for something like this? Think again.
