It is a strange looking vehicle, but there are a lot of things I like about the company's philosophy and approach.

Do you want your wheel assembly to be unprotected and jutting or where some jackass in a F350 can trash it? Because that's what this stupid looking thing has.

If you are in a small car and an F350 hits you, it is going to do a lot of damage whether it is this or a more conventional car. At least with this you may limit the body and frame damage to that wheel and suspension. If it just tears off that wheel it will pobably transfer less impact to the passenger compartment too, and I care more about my neck than a wheel or quarter panel.
