Shane wrote about the CNG powered American Roadster last week and it is indeed an odd bird. The long-nosed, three-wheeler has unique styling, but its creator John Green claims it has amazing handling and stability. The Roadster is available with a choice of two natural gas-fueled engines, an air-cooled four cylinder boxer engine that looks vaguely familiar to the ones that used to power a certain German small car. The other option is a water-cooled three cylinder. We came across Mr. Green at the LA Auto Show and had a chance to talk to him about his creation. You can listen to the conversation here.
