Default What the &*$&#)(* were they THINKING!??!?!

(Note, these are all random pics I found online from a carshow...wherever... It just looks like bad breeding...)



Here's the bastard child (and we thought that was the xA's role) :D j/k of a xB and an Element doing the horizontal parking job






Same xB, same swingers club, this time with an Aztek







In theory, I think you could argue that THIS, is a circumsized xB...







You know those dogs and cats that look like their face got slammed in the door? Here's an xA with the same problem:








Here's the site I found these on... if you know French and it says what these things actually ARE, feel free to pitch in...

uhm, you can find all of those cars in europe. the reason they are so small is because of gas pricing, and population over there. beleive it or not, new york city is actually a very "open" area compared to some of the small villages in germany. there is logic behind the design. dont just go bashing on everything because you dont understand it.

I was bashing the style, not the size, and trust me, I saw lots of microscopic vehicles with 3 wheels in Italy when I was there... Hell, there's one maker out there that has a model called the "Panda" lol





So likewise, there's logic in my smart-assed-ness (I'm AWARE its not a word) so don't go bashing on me because your sense of humor is different...

The following is not something that is originally mine, but I couldn't put it better if I tried...

Fantastic vehicles... Bring 'em on over! They'd really jazz up the roads in the States.

Yes it is. The car only has like 60hp & tops out I think around 70mph. I think they just went with 3 for weight savings or something.

The first one has some styling cues that look rather familiar.


I don't know who made the second one the third one is a concept for the Metro car brand that was made by MGB.

And last but not least the Smartcar convertible, not related to the Smart roadster, which is made by Smart a division of Mercedes.

And on the subject of Italian microcars, do you know that even http://img.2dehands.nl/f/normal/8396248.jpg]Lamborghini made one?[/url]
