    That was funny as hell. Love cartoons, this is good stuff. Great animation, really. Yeah, I remember these little Piaggios from when I was in Italy, they were everywhere.

    @CptSevere: There's at least one of these down in Biz' that was in the Art Car parade during the Coaster Races last Fourth of July. I think it's the guy that has the Yard full of really weird French/God Knows What stuff at the top of Tombstone Canyon right below the Tunnel.

    Quite nice.

    I like short films. I have eaten octopus one time. I will not revisit it.

    No way that's a stock Piaggio Ape. Definitely some tweaks under the hood. Like the Minis in the Italian Job.

    I think the commenters that hate this have never lived in a big city. It's awesome, but could use a 2nd seat.

    Frankly, I'm surprised the Lunar Rover has not been a great source of inspiration for automotive stylists. It's TV spokesperson will surely be Major Matt Mason.

    Yeah, those tires will totally support a quarter ton when they hit an American-sized pothole. Why do designers think the tires on their future-rides need to be kate moss-skinny?

    @Graverobber: There is a whole lot of nonsense just to look techie or trendy. Look at the stripe of leds on the wheel covers. Why are the wheels so complicated, should be a 13 inch steelies with some fat tires. The cargo box while trying to be super adaptive is crap in every configuration. This man should stick a postit on the monitor saying KISS.


    The Piaggio was succesful for doing exactly the opposite of this, and it was a trycicle without any leaning shenanigan.

    That truck bed looks almost as usable as the Hummer H2 truck bed. I don't see being able to deliver much with that.

    @#6: What a great idea. Get her to hold a metal pole while you're doing it. Put a flag on top of the pole so she thinks it serves a purpose. She'll never know it's a lightning rod.

    Why does everything "futuristic" have to look like a 5 year old made it out of an Erector set? It makes some of these cheap Chinese cars look stylish and well made.
