Ugly ass sin, high up and very heavy, bad fuel economy from an old tech petrol V8, and not very drive from wheelchair friendly... No drive from option. Ramp too steep/long. Floor space limited. Would made a good taxi cab if diesel. Wouldn't want one as a gift frankly. Don't understand the interest in it.

Agree with everything Burgerman listed. And $40,000 is way too much for that, I don't foresee those selling well.

I have a 2016 MV-1 converted into driverside power w/c. It is much changed since 2014. Gone is the old V-8, in with a very peppy Ford V-6. I only have 4100 Km on it so I have not tested it for petrol consumption. It no longer needs to pay USA "gas guzzler tax". My top of line LX was $52,000 $US.

Absolutely hideous youre right. I live like 10 min from a dealership and have even rode in one several times as the taxi companies here are switching over to these. Thats about all i can see them being good for and was pretty much told that was the target market when i asked about this shit box.
