    A lift-off targa top, for that extra wind-in-your-hair motoring. At 20mph.


    At those speeds, you just become a bonus arcade stage for birds to aim for. 10 points!

    I believe that's not a targa top you're seeing. Those clasps serve to release the emergency exit hatch necessary when the roving gangs of thugs from the nice, upscale neighborhood next to the retirement home come and tip Granny & Gramps over when they're tooling along to the square dance.

    I already have a neighborhood vehicle: my bicycle.

    With my bike I can go on any road except highways. This thing would be limited (in California) to streets with speed limits of 25MPH or less...

    This means I would not be able to reach the center of my city with it, whereas, thanks to bike lanes and trails, I can ride there, today, for a purchase price of a few hundred bucks while getting some exercise!

    For a crew that has a collective soft spot for the small, light, kinda crappy econoboxes of the 80s and early 90s, I find all the hate a little hypocritical.


    Of course...an 87 CRX doesn't have a big stupid smile on its frontend.

    That's not a smile. That's a sausage.


    It's a fetching design. Well thought out, with well resolved details. Very simple, very clear. Probably pretty durable.


    The 2CV had fabric sling seats, which is like mesh without the holes. It also had a big retracting fabric sunroof that slid along the rain gutters. Plus ca change...

    That way you can at least enjoy the weather when your PeePod inevitably runs out of juice.


    The seats are a good idea, except that passengers can now see all the candy wrappers, bottlecaps and melty crayons that inevitably end up there (such is the price of having children).

    @Alfisted: and when said children grow to driving age, there will be no place for them to hide the beer bottles when friendly Mr. Occifer pulls them over.

    FINALLY the seats I've been waiting for. I have what you might call "year-round heated seats"--I give off a lot of heat, so even in the dead of winter, my back, ass, and thighs end up sticking to my clothes after more than 10 minutes of driving.

    @Ash78: Simple solution: Drive naked.


    Note: This doesn't help with leather seats...


    ...or cars with windows...

    This reminds me of a modern-day Stever Erkel car. And I actually prefer the front-openning door that he had on his Erkel-mobile. This thing looks like it's designed to be used on a golf-course (but we already have an electric vehicle for that - a golf cart!)

    @Duke engineerd von Prandtl: I just discovered that the front ashtray in a 1965 Studebaker Cruiser is exactly as wide as an iPhone. Perfect docking station. Hides the tacky green display on the NOS cassette radio.


    I'd take a picture but, uh, the camera's on the phone. My other camera's broke :(
