Colours shown may not be available in Canada.
Is it a motorcycle or a car? Uh, we're not quite sure either, but we've got the Spyder line in here, so here it is. Unlike the Spyder, you sit in it (beside your passenger) which means you wear a seatbelt and are better supported (i.e. you don't have to fight the forces in a corner). It looks outlandishly futuristic, has three wheels, a steering wheel, and no top. It's powered by a GM car engine, which has proven very reliable over the years and makes getting parts easier; just go to your local auto parts counter. For 2016 it's also available as a Special Edition (add $1000) which gets a white paint job, fancy wheels, a screen and media console with bluetooth. Unfortunately the weak Loonie means that it's up $4,500 over last year.
