Volkswagen unveils GX3 motorcycle crossover
Today at the Los Angles auto show Volkswagen unwrapped the GX3 a three wheeled motorcycle-car crossover vehicle. Volkswagen is describing the GX3 as a "pure driving machine" and is planning on selling the motorcycle-car in the US for $17,000.
The GX3 “turns even the daily commute to work into a small trip to freedom, allows you to cruise in the carpool lane, even if you’re driving solo and with its keen handling it opens up completely new horizons for recreational driving.” With a 0 - 100 km/h (62.5 mp/h) in 5.7 seconds and an estimated fuel economy of 46mpg the GX3 promise to be fast and environmentally friendly.

The GX3 will source its power from the Volkswagen 1.6-liter four cylinder producing 125hp. In a vehicle weighing only 1,257 lbs that is a scant 10lb per 1hp.
The interior of the GX3 is going to be all business featuring 5-point racing harness safety belts and motorcycle style gauges with two seats sitting side by side. No word yet on what kind of transmissions might be available.
