Re: a new amphibious car? (John A)

I can understand the appeal...sort of...but the price!
It's supposedly going to cost $237,000.00 US.

Screw that, for that price I'll buy a nice boat, a sports car, AND a truck to tow them. Not some mutated 3-seat miata.

I agree.... Nothing about that price makes me say "Oh well you only live once...."

So, it's an expensive slow boat and slow car in one?????

Lol. 30mph isn't even all that fast on the water and is nowhere near "speedboat" speeds. My parents 15 year old Larson has a 75hp engine and can pull 25mph (est) in the water. It's pretty sad that a 175hp engine is only pushing 30mph...

The guy behind this was also behind the development of the Jaguar XJ220. Somehow, only one of these two is truly impressive...
