The first stop for the Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Compact Car is built for performance. Philadelphia Motors cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 95 hp @ 2753RPMs 1572 cc Radial5 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 108 mph in an impressive 18.451s 0 to 60 mph. If that wasn't enough with the 146 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 22 lbs! I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. On the track you can tell that the Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna is above average when it comes to handling and driveability. Most Compact Car would not be able to keep up with the Lackawanna on twisty and windy roads. It can almost put a smile on your face.
Once we were done playing on the track, we got a good look at the Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna and I must say, we were quite impressed. While not the most luxurious vehicle on the market. It is quite comfortable for what it is. There is just enough styling and support to last on long trips and impress friends, while not being overly expensive like hyper luxurious vehicles.
Getting into the Philadelphia Motors Lackawanna can be quite a bit of a pain. Even an amoeba would be claustrophobic in the confines of the Lackawanna.

Want a soda... you guessed it. Strap it to the roof! One has to imagine Philadelphia Motors owns a roof rack company somewhere.
