That car is such a joke. Man. Shesh.

Hehe I think it's cute. If I were some rich baller, I'd buy one for my GF

I suppose it will do for the butler to run down to the end of the drive and collect the paper.

I drove a fully loaded Toyota iQ for a day, and I have to say that I' m quiet impressed about it. It' s fine micro car for everyday commuting to work and back home in large city centers where is no place to park. I would consider it only if I' d already own one much bigger car. I' m 203 cm tall (6'9") and I cold normaly use it. OK, 2 seats behind weren' t up and in "trunk" was only enough place to put one pack of beer and a shopping bag. Enough for small errands around the town.

Although it's design is a bit strange for someones taste, it is a head turner (couldn' t believe!). And I think that AM Cygnet is even more special!

Finaly verdict: nice car for chick ladies crusing around the town or luxury work commuting car for all gents!

Of course it comes: 6-speed manual (with Stop & Start technology and gear shift indicator)

Optional Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) (with Eco Driving Indicator)

I doubt they make much money on these cars if any. It's probably all about CAFE penalty avoidance.

In terms of EU CO2 regs maybe, but I don't think they're bringing these to the U.S. So it wouldn't be a CAFE thing.

Anyway, I think they will probably sell all of these that they can build. I wouldn't buy one, but then I'm not the market target. For the right person these would fit the bill nicely.

I don't hate it like I did when I first heard of it, now that I've read the review.
