Apparently this is the world's smallest car. I thought the Smart Car was small, but this takes small to a whole new level. Actually I wonder how these compare to the Tata mini cars I read about. Although since the description says it's only big enough for the driver and a shopping bag, this definitely sounds small.
I think this looks like something out of a vintage cartoon or comic book. I'm not a Tin Tin expert but I'd imagine I'd see one of these in the Tin Tin books. It wouldn't look out of place in the Wallace and Gromit world either.
While there's no way I'd ever own one of these cars (especially with a sticker price of $12,676 for something so small!) I do think it looks really neat. I think I like the "anti-conventional" appeal of this car. Start with the fascia. It doesn't have the standard "car face"!!! Only one headlamp, so it's a cyclops. No front grille, so no mouth. And what's with those three round circles under the headlamp? Fog lights and something else?
I've been pleasantly surprised to see the Fiat 500's cruising around town, but something tells me I won't be seeing any of the P50s around. And that's just fine with me. I think this would be cute as a toy car for kids. Little 10" models, or even plastic ride-in types.
