Wow. I could see Will I Am driving one of those, and maybe someone living in those planned communities where they allow golf carts on the streets, but otherwise $80K+ is a lot to spend on a toy that ugly--both of 'em. I don't think I'm enough of a bon vivant to be in their target audience.

I like the coupe. It looks A LOT better than the gaping-catfish grill on the last generations of Lexus cars. People buy those things. The truck - not so much.

Model 01 looks like a Mini Cooper, a Peugeot and a Volkswagen got drunk, had a threeway and then the Mom just kept on drinking heavily.

my favorite was the stripped drivetrain for a cool 50K.
Even went to research the wheelbase/width to see what body would fit over it... 904, volvo 122 wagon, etc. It's fun to daydream, but could find no info. Oh well.... Thanks for sharing.

Damn. I have seen 6 year olds with better looking car designs. Ugly AND expensive.
How is it that Group Think has allowed a number of people to think that these are a good idea? Yuck. |

The opening scene, Model 01, made me think Disney was doing a version two of the movie Cars.

I guess they're trying to stand out from the crowd.
But how many people will find these vehicles desirable? Not many...
