Calypso Caravan; Micro Camper for a Micro car?

I saw photos of this motorcycle caravan / camper. Wikipedia. It was designed for motorcycles but I think it could easily be towed by a micro car, especially if it is a modern micro car. It is a Calypso caravan. It looks like a micro version of the Airstream camper. I found these photos online. I am looking to see if there is more information on them.

This shows the relative size of it next to the tow vehicle, a motorcycle.

The interior looks nice. It seems to use every bit of space inside.

This shows it not just a bed but also table to do things on, the inside being adaptable.

Here is the close up of the table.

Here is the gull wing door. I think it is better than the small door found on some smaller teardrop campers.

Perhaps to really make them usable as a camper for small to micro cars, it would have a wider stance so they won't tip over as easily and give them a little more room on the inside. It would be nice if someone came out with a plans, a kit or just the whole camper (similar but different to prevent any lawsuits that be charged for infringement on the design). If they did, I would definitely check it out. 

Jeep Trio Concept (2003); Modern Micro Off Roader?

Even though the concept from Jeep is from 2003, I think it could still sell today. I think it is a shame they did not produce some version of this really cool off road vehicle. Jeep Trio Concept 2004. Car Designs News has a nice article on it. I agree with Car Designs News in that it would fit in today. I would put it on my list of next possible cars to buy if they produced it.

I like how small it is. I definitely consider it a modern micro car. 

The seats look comfortable. 

It has a Jeep look to it yet keeps it modern.

I like the ground clearance. I like how the wheels are exposed.

The back seat is neat but I don't more than one person could fit back there.

Continuous Variable Transmission for Modern Micro Cars?

Personally, I think the CVT - continuous variable transmission -  is cool. They give the economy of the manual transmission while giving the convenience of the automatic transmission. One generally associates them with scooters but there are cars that also have them. I have read of problems with the CVT but I think they are making them even better now.

Here is a visual of the CVT (from Wikipedia). 

Here is a simple demonstration of the CVT (from Wikipedia).

I think they would be ideal for small cars since it would give them an even greater miles per gallon rating yet give them more appeal with those who want an automatic transmission. I think of some small cars as more 'enclosed scooters' than small cars. I think it would be great in a front wheel drive front engine combination or a rear wheel drive rear engine combination; either giving more space inside the vehicle which what is a premium in small cars. 

One such small car was the Subaru Justy (Wikipedia). 

From what I read about it, it not only had a continuous variable transmission but also four wheel drive. It would be nice if Subaru brought back the Justy with all wheel drive and a continuous variable transmission. Perhaps they could rename it 'Outback Jr'.  

Here is a list at Wikipedia of vehicles with a CVT. There were a lot more cars than I expected. It includes cars present and past. 

One such car is the Mini Cooper. The automatic is a CVT. 

Future Brubaker Box?

There is an article that indicates there might be a future Brubaker Box. The article is by Jalopnik.

I liked the original Brubaker Box. I like the design and shape of it. If they do actually make a new one (the article above is dated 2014), I wonder how much it will look like the new one.

Wikipedia. 

I think one could make one using the Faraday Future platform of batteries and wheels. One would not have to worry about getting parts from an older air cooled Volkswagen Beetle or micro bus. It would also make it green. I believe the Faraday Future platform (video) is adjustable.

Rodster. 

I think an alternative to the above could be the engine and transmission and (lengthened) platform of the Smart Fortwo? The Fortwo has a rear wheel drive and rear engine similar to the VW Beetle. One could adapt the Box design to accommodate the radiator but I think it could give a little more modern look.

Morgan EV3 - Cool and Green

I think the Morgan EV3 is both cool and green. It is built on the traditional three wheel Morgan but with batteries and an electric motor. I think it has a clean modern look to it. I would not mind driving one.
I think it is a car for the future.

It has a sleek aerodynamic look to it. With less air resistance, it can go farther and faster.

This is a classic car that one can still get new. 

I think it is neat one can still get their other classic cars. 

VW Scooter - Old Can Be New?

Technologic Vehicles has an article on the VW Scooter concept. It is a three wheel vehicle. I think it looks really nice. With three wheel vehicles coming out lately, I think it would fit in quite well. I think it could be used as a commuter vehicle or a city vehicle. Its small size would make it easy to park and easy to maneuver.

(quote from article on size). 'As wide as a Smart with 1.5m and 20cm longer than a Toyota iQ with (3.17m) the concept Scooter was designed to sneak into town and even features a trunk that could welcome a suitcase.' This gives perspective on size. 

It would be neat to drive this little car or see it being driven on the roads. 

Volkswagen Classic.

Only Carz.

This photo (from Only Carz) makes it looks really cool.

VW also came out with a different more traditional scooter.

In my opinion, they should make both scooters. Perhaps the three wheel version could carry the two wheel version in an attachment or small trailer. 

Arcimoto - modern three wheel car?

I think the Arcimoto has an interesting vehicle. It is three wheels. It does not seem enclosed at first but there are pictures with sides and doors. I think it has a lot potential. The original without doors reminds me of the Cam Am Spyder but larger and with a roof.

This is one with doors. It seems the passenger in back can see out. The site indicates soft or hard doors / sides. I like this option. With NH weather varying, this would make it possible to drive it all year long.

I believe this is the cargo version. I can see it delivering flowers or pizzas or other small items locally. I can see how the back cargo area would be great for a wrap for a company name / logo / picture. 

I can see this being used the same way the Scoot Coupes are used in some places; as rental vehicles. I can see how this could be a safer way to have the motorcycle experience but keep ones loved ones peace of mind too.
