If GM offered something like this for sale to the public, would you buy it?

This was as hell of an interesting little vehicle when I first saw it in the 1980's, It combined the fun of a motorcycle with the all weather protection of a car.
I was trying to find some stats on the car, from what I could find, the car had a 38hp engine, but when from 0-60 in 6.8 seconds and it delivered 168 MPG! It had pedals on the floor to control how the "pod" lean, similar to the rudder controls on an airplane.
What if this could be updated, with some assistance from Suzuki perhaps? It could be sold at GM or Suzuki dealerships, with some fuel injection and advances in computer control, lighter structure, this thing could be both a killer high milliage comuter car and a 1 person sports car.
What do you think?
