no Miata talk?

Well then, how about a Honda? Here is a new toy I saw today that looks
pretty cool, along the lines of a Segway but smaller. I love the
Omnidirectional wheels on it!

They had better make it at least a bit larger for the American market.

That is pretty cool, but unlike the segway that can tackle lots of
different type of terrain, i wonder how this thing would fair in the
real world and not just on the smooth floor of a gallery as shown.
To keep this on topic, let me say that this unit might actually fit in
the trunk of a Miata.
