Never new this concept even exsisted sounds like the new Lupo, but looks impressive apparently limited production will start in 2010. I like the idea, wouldnt mind the up. What are your view?

I've got a 4 page spread on the concept in a magazine somewhere a few months back. I don't like the styling personally however in this day in age the world needs more C02 reduced cars and this is in early stages. I like the lights, just not keen on the body shape and wing mirrors. The wheels fill the arches nicely though :D

It's very lightweight apparently and by the looks of it, the only people you're going to get in the rear are babies and midgets :?

As a concept; it's a brilliant idea. I'd certainly be interested in buying one as a reliable, efficient town car, as all of my daily drive is through urban areas in stop-start traffic.

If it's cheap, who will give a toss if it's "gay" or they "don't like the styling".

I'm not sure whether I'd have one of these or a nice commuter scooter.

On many terms I agree with ollie as I have been debating on getting a moped for intown driving due to running a car with petrol at the moe killing me financially. I think its alot better looking than most of the new eco friendly cars out there such as twingo, gwiz etc... As long as they keep it the design and don't make it horrible.

I remember reading somewhere the costs being as little as £4000 for stock and £7500 with extra's such as air con etc... But don't quote me on that.
