I've found sources saying it was made in limited quantities for the European market, and some <a href="http://www.casadongiorgi.com/en/activities_ape.asp" rel="nofollow">appear to be in use in Europe</a>, but <a href="http://www.piaggioape.co.uk/calessino/" rel="nofollow">Piaggio UK</a> says 999 will be available worldwide, with a form to request more information, implying it hasn't even become available yet. Oh, the mysteries of Piaggio!

Fixed. Also noticed this morning that <a href="http://www.javacycles.com/productdetail.php?prod_id=87" rel="nofollow">JavaCycles in Athens, GA is listing the "Mini Breeze"</a> (with Piaggio press photos AND photos of an entirely different tuk-tuk) as "available soon" with a 175cc water-cooled engine for $5999. (Piaggio's Ape Calessino has a 422 cc, four stroke diesel and the price seems to be in the "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" range.) oops, not sure what I was thinking there, sorry, yes, the Bajaj 3-wheelers were 4-strokes.
