Car Talk has written a scathing review on Buckminster Fuller's three-wheeled Dymaxion Car, 81 years after its unveiling.

Despite Bucky's optimism, the "innovative" Dymaxion was a complete failure, says Car Talk author Jamie Lincoln Kitman. "You’ve pushed shopping carts with broken casters that handle better," said Kitman, following a Dymaxion test drive (an experience Norman Foster considered to be "extraordinary").
