I like the interior.
The exterior, however, is crap. It's way too tall and narrow and those wheels are straight off of a ride on lawn mower. It looks dangerously tipsy, more of a golf cart than a car.

It does look taller than it is long...

This has less power than a fully loaded lawn mower.

So? It's not for you. Also, The Loremo LS has 20HP.

Your point being....?


Cars today have unnecessary power.

This car wouldn't survive in the US... you'd need at least 75 hp.

Wow, the interior is nowhere near as craptacular as I suspected it would be.

Same here,  but those materials would make the interior of 280Z's Dakota look spectacular. :lol:
The car looks like an egg.

BTW, any engine pics?

But 33 HP is not nearly enough for the US.

With Low enough Weight, It could work.



The Euro Spec Model will likely have more power....Considering this Car is Kei Sized, 64 HP is plenty. Keis can do 0-60 in 10 seconds.

Can't wait for the Jaguar Nano, with all these revolutionary new design features!

Have you ever even ridden in a Maruti 800? It has 34 hp, and it's a dog. Seriously. That would be a road hazard in the US and the Nano is about the same size and weight.

BTW, I can't believe the 800 costs more than the Nano. The 800 has been unchanged for about a quarter of a century.
Grade-A POS.

About 10 years. Last design was 1997-1998. Still, only cosmetic changes.

I was thinking of the 800 too.

The chassis and drivetrain are all the same. All the changes have been minor cosmetic ones.

Yeah I said that. Only cosmetic changes, and even those, 10 years ago.

They dont need cars to morph every 5 years. We dont either, we just think we do.

Ok, then can you explain why a 25 year old turd costs more than one of these new cars that match it in size and power ouput but probably have better quality and interiors?

After you wake up with the sun at 6am on someone's floor, coughing up cigarette butts and tasting like warm beer, you may well change your opinion on this matter.

Whatever it may be, it has managed to become one of the lead news stories in Australia, and that's no mean feat.
