Vanderhall Laguna - One Take 

Umad

shut the fuck up.

yea, $75 for a trike... Once they get the few sales they will get from people with too much money with common sense sales will dry up...and this will just be another failed vehicle venture

Someone got offended lol. You must have invested in this shithole.

Trike lol good one

Two points: The new Venice model costs only $30,000. Also, the reviewer is an ass. The car has 200 horsepower, makes 200 ft/lbs of torque, and weighs only 1550 lbs. If he can't go fast in it- the problem is him, not the car.

JAMES HAY except that it's not a car, and it handles much worse than a car...

automatic

agreed

even the gauge cluster was chevy sonic which kills the interior.

Uh yeah. Pass.

a 620R is just as cool, costs way less and would absolutely wreck this thing... i don't see who would buy this.

If someone is super wealthy and doesn't really care that much about driving dynamics and just wants to be seen cruising, this is definitely a possibility.

Alright good sir. I never said someone SHOULD buy it. That's the great thing about a free market. People can go buy whatever the hell they want with their money. After shooting and driving one of these, I'll never talk shit on someone who owns one because they are an interesting choice of car to go after. Yes, kinks need to be worked out and I personally would prefer a manual transmission. With that said, it's an entertaining ride. The reason why the car costs as much as it does is the insane attention to detail these guys have put into the construction of the vehicle (which Matt touched on in the review). Would I ever buy one? No. But if money isn't a problem for you in the slightest, then it's a fine car. Errrrr I mean trike.

You cant fix stupid,and you are stupid ass hell.

mindsmirror Nope,I am reffering to you.

+DuDe1040 thank you

Exactly hahaha

But then again, Every single wealthy old man knows a lot about cars... or, at least know enough not to buy this POS.

Such a great idea spoiled by using the components off of a Sonic. The 6-speed automatic is problematic and one of the most laggy around. The Sonic drivetrain is the LAST choice I'd like to see in anything performance oriented. Oh wait, it's not supposed to be performance oriented, you're paying SEVENTY GRAND to "cruise around". Is it any coincidence you can't turn traction control off in a Sonic either? I think not. You say it's weird and different. By weird and different do you actually mean stupid and pointless?

yea seriously,its ugly and sounds like poo poo. a gm engine? straight garbage this machine is. $75000.that is robbery

+Taylor Ashworth The frustrating thing is you can actually turn the traction control all the way off in the Sonic. They could've at least tuned 50 more ponies out of the engine, and done something with the transmission for 70 grand. They're selling you half an economy car, half a motorcycle and instead of making the price meet in the middle are charging one arm and half a leg. I can't imagine the person that can justify purchasing this.

Same reason people buy Honda's

+Yellow lmao

There is no market, they tried to create it. I get where they come from though, BMW invented the SUV coupe...

Rental companies in Florida, Los Angeles area, and Las Vegas.

+Yellow sounds like someone got embarrassed by a honda.

Hey +roadsuntraveled love your videos man!

They just need to make a detachable top for the venice. Sub 35000 for one of those would honestly not be bad. With the tunes that add 80hp and 100ftlb of torque and change the shift points, it really makes this thing a super good looking sell. I personally wont buy one until they start offering the manual again, but if they did I would give it a hard consideration.

I can't believe that they put this into production. How can they think that this will be a success? The first thing that comes to mind watching this car is "bankruptcy".

Mitt Romney.

Mormons

+Ricardo Villalva hahaha

Car Geeks Anonymous Ricardo Villalva It's the Joseph Smithmobile, DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM =)

you basically get bike-car for that. This is a kit project in some countries but I also don't understand the ridiculous pricing for this? There isn't much technology to go and develop this coz it has been done too many times. $75k I can get a bnew corvette right?

I live in Cali and you are so right.

Damn

Yeah this thing would be neat with RWD but its boutique price makes it not remotely worth it. A FWD 1.4T trike for Boxter/Z06/Hellcat money is just stupid for most people, idc how unique it is.

Exactly, you can get a used model s or m3 for that kinda money. Seems pointless to me

At $75k you're in the price bracket of a 2nd hand Ferrari 360 or 2nd hand Nissan GT-R, so someone must really have to want one of these to pass the other options up.

+Seth Christian Plenty more to add to that list. Virtually the entire used AMG/M fleet, aston martins, bentleys... the list goes on. Can't think of a compelling reason to buy this other than its uniqueness

yah, haha

+snipeish1 Well that's who makes the engine.

Yep..

it kind of is one technically.

Yup, haha! I'm sure there's some last gen Corsa in there somewhere :P

Brandon Edge Yep I watched that one the other day, lol.

The Vanderhall Laguna starts at $50k, not 75. It is not slow, the final version is around 160 horsepower and weighs 1600 pounds. It is not blisteringly quick, but it's not slow either. The exhaust is definitely loud though, and a little buzzy. And for my size a manual in it would be out of the question, but it is a cruiser, who needs a manual?

200 HP

yep.

Excellent idea

I thought the same thing!

I like jay leno's knowledge of cars & car collection. But when it comes to jay leno's garage, his reviews are always good towards the automotive he is test driving

yeah, it's a designer wankfest. i'm sure some rich hairdressers will pick them up, but that's about it.

They always use that as excuse when something goes wrong.

Their google+ says it's been through 11 iterations and 40 prototypes...f'n ridiculous.

Unfortunately he didn't. It really does cost that much.

Look again! It has quads on BOTH SIDES. I almost like how absolutely ridiculous the exhaust system is.

It's not the engine. The traction control is a type that actually vices the engine to reduce power to prevent wheel spin. You usually do not see a TC that works on the wheels, to sop wheel spin, except in higher end performance cars and race cars, where the rules allow.

That would make this thing great. $75,000 great? Still nope, but closer than its current power plant for sure haha.

I find it hard to believe they had any body who knew the car market working on this project, or else they would have been screaming at all the bad decisions made on this car

ugly styling tho

as if it isn't already unreliable enough

I agree, and the Morgan is chock full of character.

A morgan costs 65k

not even a question. The Morgan is one of the most fun toys money can buy, including four-wheeled vehicles.

I live in Phoenix. On Saturday, it will be 117 degrees. I would still daily drive a Morgan.

not cool and for $75K its an absolute joke. At least with the Polaris, the rear end can be excused by the fact it is relatively cheap.

No, his car was a base car. He sold it to some dealer. He bought my skyline though ;)

+TheSmokingTire noooooo!

Idk Matt if i was you I would wait for the 2017 GT350 to start rolling of the assembly line because you get more options as standard. Either way if you get one I'd love to see a video on it. What color GT350 were you looking for BTW?

+TheSmokingTire heard you talking about selling the skyline in a podcast. congrats. gt3 incoming, I guess.

+TheSmokingTire :(...
