Nothing new that car manufacturers lend their brand to cycles. Seem to remember seeing a Porsche bike for an obscene amount of money

I'd have laughed at someone if i'd have seen them riding around on that. It looks like they have done it themselves and are just a bit too geeky.

The MTB is quite keenly priced pity they don't give more details about the specification.

Here's the first production car by Subaru with a whopping 25hp

You get some horrible bicycles in Japan branded Peugeot, Jaguar and Jeep. Why on earth those manufacturer's would sell out their brands and have them on such cack, God only knows.
