No Boat Trailer Needed: Amphibious Car Coming in 2009
German company Gibbs plans to bring two new amphibious vehicles to the U.S. in 2009. A sports car that can reach 30 mph (knots?) in the water called Aquada, and an ATV that doubles as a personal watercraft called the Quadski will lead the first wave — we know, bad pun — of models.
Gibbs has been testing the Miata-esque looking Aquada in Michigan where the company hopes to base its North American operations. No dealer network or prices were given, but selling these two at motorcycle, ATV and boat dealers makes the most sense. How much would you pay for your own Aquada?

I wouldn't pay one thin dime.
I remember this product has been on the market for a few years already, but not in U.S.
About time!
I had two Amphi-Cars, I believe 1964 vintag lso made in Germany. With always damp carpets, seals that didn't seal, a bilg pump filled wit rust flakes and ugainly highway performance it wat the most fun you could have without getting arrested by the Coast Guard.
A plan (at 19) to tempt the police into a chase and escape acros the lake at the 1965 New York worlds fair site was thwarted by a balky transmission that would not engage the props.
A few donuts later and all was cool
