Don't know if that link worked, but I found the article at (and this isn't a plug) DrudgeReport.com. Looks really cool, but the article didn't say if it would be available in the U.S. Probably not. It also didn't mention any gas mileage expectations.

wowie that is small lol.

I don't think it would make it to the US, bummer. I bet it gets great mileage. Give me a turbo diesel version!

hot european blonde. w/ my xray vision it looks like she's wearing a white victoria's secret skimpy g-string....

eTiMaGo · 09-12-2007, 02:32 PM

to me it looks much better than the smart car

redyaris · 09-12-2007, 03:14 PM

That car is so cool.

landrym28 · 09-12-2007, 04:51 PM

I was thinking that it was the Aygo:

Thirty-Nine · 09-12-2007, 04:53 PM

I like it, too. Is it going to be the replacement for the Aygo?

My guess is no. I think the Aygo is getting a mid-cycle up date but that's just looks. I think this car is aimed at the Smart. I was rumored that Toyota will bring over a Smart competitor to the U.S. but that might be one in a million.

Anyway I like it! Cool looking as well!

That car looks awesome! if I ever get a chance to get one i wouldn't mind it haha =P

Kaotic Lazagna · 09-12-2007, 07:09 PM

landrym28 · 09-12-2007, 08:45 PM

Yikes!

If that car by some anti-capitalist miracle makes it to the U.S. I'll be the first one in my region to own one. That is the perfect combination of usability for me, and I bet I could hypermile the bejeezus out of it.

I don't think it has so much to do with capitalism as safety regs. I can't imagine that thing would come anywhere close to meeting crash test requirements. Yes, the smart is smaller, but it's also one giant steel frame, hence the odd look. This thing isn't big enough to carry 4 people AND be hiding anything solid underneath that cute bodywork. Hell, the rear passenger headrest IS the rear window!
