Add airbag and pollution controls and other safety devices ... new price $25,000.00.

If the mileage would be affected by painting the thing, I wonder what happens when you carry a camera bag. :shock:


Well maybe you'll only get 240 MPG if the gadget bag is large. LOL. Hey this looks interesting and I'll look into it since everyone here rides 125 cc motorcycles.

But can you pack 4 kids and the groceries into it? They should have called it "The Lepricon" and made it green. LOL.

I wonder how it is in the snow? I bet the insurance for this would be more than the price of the car!
Bet you will never see it here.

No A/C? It would be like riding in an oven in mid summer!

I am thinking by the time the N. American transportation regulations where added to make this this put put road worthy the cost would sky rocket the engine would grow to the size of the Smart Car. This vehicle would be great to drive around the sub divisions to go to the mall etc. but to go out on a real highway hmm me thinks not. I can just see some guy driving a Mach truck that's had a bad day turning it into a hood ornament. But it would be fun to drive one in say New York at rush hour. They would alleviate a lot of commuter traffic in a large city if everyone was driving them. Its good they look like coffins though they could be direct burial.

The emblem on the front looks like the Volkswagen emblem. Is China making this car for Volkswagen? If not, that's trademark infringement and Volkswagen will go after them.

Looks something like the GO GO MOBILE that I saw in Germany in 1962.

With our traffic I am still surprised that people buy those "Smart Cars". Be a cold day in hell before you would catch me driving one of those things. :lol: :lol:
