Wired Autopia has the latest on the Terrafugia Transition, the flying car...er, roadable aircraft I wrote about last year. Seems that Terrafugia has managed to get a lot of customers interested in the vehicle:
Terrafugia says it is re-evaluating the price for the Transition. The company has received deposits from more than 80 customers. A previously announced price was $194,000. Meteer says the new design should be making its first drive later this year, and first flights are expected early next year.
Higher or lower on the price scale? One assumes lower.
Autopia also has a shot of the Transition's very simple cockpit, with its dual car/plane controls: a steering wheel for driving and a stick for flying. Quite cool.
