Always wanted a motorcycle growing up but never had the finances to buy one and now that I have a family I always felt like it would be selfish if I bought one because I know why wife would never ride on the back of one (or let me kid either for that matter). But with the Slingshot things might be different.

Watched all the teaser videos leading up to the launch today and I'm pretty stoked. I thought about getting a used Lotus Elise as a fun nice weather car, but I think the Slingshot might have it beat in my mind. This costs less and it's brand new. What do you guys think?

I think the Slingshot sounds like it was built just for a guy like you! Cheap entry price, thrill of a motorcycle and safe enough that your wife and kids can enjoy it with you

My wife already gave me permission to buy a fun car next year, going to show her this and see what she thinks.

Welcome! Now that you know the price just post pics when you get delivery.

Not to mention if you buy a Slingshot it has a 2 year warranty vs a used Lotus. It wouldn't surprise me to see the resale better as well

Welcome to the forum!

That and a Slingshot will be WAY cheaper to fix. Heck, I will probably do all the work on my Slingshot. Just order the new parts you need and slap them on. It's not a complex vehicle

True that. The Patent Drawings are a good start to a shop manual.

Welcome to the forum. I want one, but the woman is hung on a spyder.

Please please go do a test drive because I promise you there is a clear winner.

I plan on it as soon as a close dealer gets one in.

All you have to do is figure out how to make the Slingshot "her idea"...

Remember... there is no spoon.

Hopefully this will be the one ...

Hopefully she is not against a stick.....if so, let her test drive the new automatic.....they are inexpensive enough to get "his and hers".....
