Car Transport of Like About to Begin?

Car transporters in the United States could soon be taking a 5-seat electric vehicle based on the i-MiEv from Mitsubishi Motors Corp to dealerships. Called the Like, Mitsuoka Motor Co. has started putting the names and numbers down on their reservation list for this vehicle, because the first shipments aren't expected to be taken to destination by car shipping professionals, sometime near August, according to the latest sources around the car hauling industry. There could of course be delays in production and delivery of the Like in the days ahead, but so far, things are looking pretty good for automobile transport of the Like to begin soon.

The Like is going to be a little different vehicle in terms of size considerations for car shipping at 3,570 mm, which puts it about 175 mm longer than Mitsubishi Motor Corp's i-MiEV. The designers apparently expanded the rear seat area to three people, from two, which is an interesting change that should make the Like a different kind of car. The Like apparently also comes with metal-plated bumpers and other exterior modifications that could be a consideration for car movers that need to transport this vehicle. Either way, the arrival of the Like in a few months time is going to be a good day for the auto transport services tasked with taking them to destinations around the world.

There has been on confirmation the numbers of people that have put in a reservation for a Like, so far, but once Mitsuoka Motor Co. has something to talk about, you can be sure they'll be saying something. At US 47,000 for each Like, the company is certainly hoping to sell quite a few units of their 5-seat electric vehicle, and put a few dollars in the bank.
