if humvees compensate for small penises, then does that thing compensate for low sperm count?

Agreed. It's cool. But it looks completely impractical beyond just a commuter car - which is exactly what's wrong with cars like the Smart Car.
If this car were boxy or even shaped like a Prius and had four doors, then I'd be sitting up with attention. IMO, this vehicle just looks silly for the sake of being different.

This is what will eventually replace those archaic diesels in the L.A. Port.
It's entirely electric.

People who own those are going to walk out after having a nice meal at a restaurant and find it sitting on top of a dumpster because it was light enough for four frat boys to pick up.
I wanna see what one looks like after being t-boned by a Kia Spectra. It's interesting looking, but there is such a thing as going too far.

 Same basic thing, but much more fun.

I saw one at lunch. Down on Water Street. I bet it is some marketing blitz - drive around Manhattan for a week. Pretty wild looking on the street.. I think a Nano would whup it in a fair fight.
