While this is not Packard-specific, you guys know the industry better than anyone and I can't think of a better group of educators. Am in early stage of a business start-up targeting the space between motorcycles and cars (the "dark space" that many have ventured into and few have returned!). Investors want me to talk to potential customers to determine market needs and best vehicle to meet.
If interested, I would like to interview you. We can discuss by email, phone or, if you live in the Detroit area, face-to-face for 10-15 minutes. Whichever you are most comfortable with. I request we refrain from discussions on this forum since it is for Packard-related topics only. Please email me if you wish to participate. Thank you for your support!

Anything will sell. As long as it has AC, power steering, electric windows/seats, GPS, built in TV, and pot holders.

The vehicle would be mostly for recreation though some would use for getting around. Sporty, fun like a motorcycle but much safer and more comfortable. Single and two seat versions, open and closed. Very stylish. Not a two-wheeler.
Owen - I did a search, couldn't find anything on NY Times article. Was it the Lumeneo Smerra? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumeneo_SMERA Was it Venturi?

key question for the business case: what will be the regulatory classification and therefore how will one meet the environmental and crash specs? Big money question

You may be too late. I saw an updated version of the Morgan Three Wheeler at the Santa Fe Concorso. Interesting vehicle, two passenger, storage space, minimum body. Looks like fun.

No, it was the Renault Twizy. Here's the article, nytimes.com/2012/11/25/automobiles/autor ... ess-than-a-car.html?ref=autoreviews
