The trunk does look roomy. Almost like you could modify it to have another seat with a gunner on the back. Good for running from zombies? Of course not, you never get in cars to run from zombies. And oh SHIT! Is that thing a trike? Small car = suck small trike car = WINNING FCUKIN WINAAR!

Gearhead alert. That is a Sparrow basic model uses a 250ccmotorcycle engine, so registration, and taxed in the us of a as a motorcycle. There is a custom upgrade(supposedly) called the SparrowHawk with a 90+cubic inch Harley engine. (yeah went looking for one after seeing it in Goldmember.)
I test drove one similar in Minnesota a few years back. If you think of it for the one-man commutes which seems to be the majority, and as a year-round motorcycle in places where there is serious winter, it makes a lot of sense. Wish I’d bought it.

@...Sub: well thank you sub. I will not believe anything printed by Popular Mechanics ever again….
The car that you are talking about is the Merlin its a front engine car and can be seen here. The rights to the Corbin have been sold to a Washington based company.
DOOOOOO NOOOOOOOT WAAAAAAANT!
reminds me of goldmembers ride
Probably gets great gas mileage.
Do want. Sauce plz.
I’d like to get one for the commute…
I actually really kind of want this. I guess my girl would ride in the trunk. Hmm. Or strapped to the hood.
She will go 300 hectares on a single tank of kerosene!
I’m sticking my kids or dead bodies chopped into chunks in the trunk. sweet
