Japan’s Mitsuoka Motor Company unveiled a new electric car this week. Clocking in at a tiny 1.99 metres long and 0.88 metres wide, it’s ideally suited for driving around the congested city. And its lithium-ion battery gives the car an impressive 100 kilometres per charge.
That leaves just one problem. The design. I mean, just take a look at it.
Ok, the production vehicles will have a different colour scheme (and presumably won’t have 100 kilometres emblazoned on the side), but it still doesn’t change the fact that it’s an ugly machine. And in appearance conscious Japan, I can’t see many cool cats wanting to be seen trundling around town in one of these.
I think I’ll stick with my bicycle.

That looks like one of those kiddie rides, you know, the ones where you drive a crap electric vehicle in a small bordered space 🙂

Exactly! Except the kiddy rides look more fun!

They certainly look more stylish! 🙂
