I'm calling these roadsters, regardless of how they're classified. Interesting objective/subjective comparison.

Cool review. If I had the cash, I would get the Morgan. Otherwise, the other two would be great as well!

Fun review. The two with steering wheels just seem like sports cars to me.

The Can Am is more like a hybrid or a trike.

Of course handling is pretty exotic on all of them.

+1. If I just had crazy money. But it has to be one of the most overpriced machines on the planet. It's an S&S motor with a simple carriage frame and small body. I could see spending 24 K on it, for it's cool factor. But 50K? Not a chance. It ain't there!

I love the Morgan too but not worth more than a couple grand to me.

For the price of the Morgan you could have the Spyder AND the Slingshot.

They both lack the cool factor.

They said the Morgan they tested was $78,000!!!! That's 8 Speedmasters or BAs with money for bling left over!
