That dash console looks like a transformer.

Plans are for Europe release. No news yet on if it is even coming to the US.

Have you heard any USA news?

Nothing firm on USA release but I seem to remember it's a world car so it should be ready to go if they see a market here.

I like it a lot, but I would never put MY kids in those back seats (even though I don't have kids...yet). I'll probably buy one if they ever release in the US. My Smart and it would play well together.

With Smart here and IQ coming I hope the trend is to more personal vehicles. I'm still looking for the one seat car. Or perhaps one behind the other, I just like the idea sitting in the middle of the car. And think about how much better the aerodynamics would be.

There's just a bit too much 80s aura to the interior for me but I am sure others will love it

A few things that can be gleemed from the photos.

2. 4 wheel disc breaks

3. a real manual transmission with a clutch peddle

4. standard tachometer
