New Electric Car Seats Two, Hits 75 MPH, Needs a Name

How about "The Ugly Larvae"? Why is it that every time someone designs the next electric car, it's gotta look ridiculous, ugly and mostly impractical? I mean, is there a code of the electric car design out there that specifically states "make it small and ugly so nobody will buy it except artists and the really, really left winged hippies?" I mean c'mon. I'm all about cleaner energy but I'm not buying that thing!

...maybe this is exactly what the gas companies want! - for the conspiracy theorists out there.

For a name ... how 'bout "Fugly"

How about the cheese wedge because that's what it looks like to me.

Ohhh Ohhh the "meh"

For a name how about "Triyacht"
tri for these three wheels, yacht for the clean electric energy like the yacht sails by using the wind.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! I have no problem at all with the car's aesthetics... it's clean, tidy, with crisp lines, and I like the color... so those of you that are criticizing it so harshly are impossible to please-- there is no way for you to define a vehicle that would make you happy unless you're simply against anything with three wheels. Many of today's designers are using a 3-wheel form for very practical reasons: the process to have the vehicle accepted by the bureaucracy is much simpler and cheaper than that for a car with 4 wheels.

I agree with Ruri that it resembles a wedge of Wisconsin, but I believe there is already a vehicle called the Wedge-- and I do like Damonboy's suggestion, Triyacht.

How about Peregrine? It's teardrop body shape is similar to the Peregrine falcon's infamous 200 mph diving tactic. The term is not just synonymous with the car's shape but the forward thinking Myers Motors.

I would call it the "Mallard"

you should call it "cone"

Years ago, there was a small three wheeled gas vehicle. I can't remember who produced it, most likely Japan. The postal service, always looking for economy, tried it for rural routes for a short time, and found that they were not very stable with those three wheels. The design was the reverse of this one, with the front wheel was the single, so, maybe that was what was wrong, but, as for me, I will stick with four wheels.

Hm! Three wheels. I am not certain that it would hold the required stability that I need when driving a car. It is one thing riding a motor bike with two wheels, it is another be basically riding a motorcycle with false security of surrounding metal, yet, still have the inherent dangers of the bike. Despite my own fears, the car does have a "I am fun" appearance and will attract some buyers who just want to get around their local area, or use it for fun when getting about. Thinking out loud; the three wheeler tricycle is similar to this little car, in balance, and this was always a much safer option when we were young. Maybe I might just try out the 3 wheelers designed for bigger kids! Tricar, pronounce Treecar my be a suitable name
