I don't think it's that golf cart. I think it's something based on the TES concept:

Note the round tail light hint in the OP's link:

Could be evolved from this:

The concept was a little ugly. Let's see if they fixed that.

Also, think about the rest of the things they're saying... radically different... making a contribution to the world... being unveiled in the UK (obviously has some significance), etc.

Yeah, but they also said "fun-to-drive," not "totally-stupid-looking-deathtrap."

As for "radically different," that golf cart isn't and hasn't been for a long time. The Smart long since filled that niche in the mainstream, and there were others before it that didn't even do as well as Smart.

I can hold out hope that they still have some sense.

A good part of the Smart Car's initial marketing was based on how "fun to drive" it was going to be.
Drove one once and not only was it not "fun" but I was scared to death half the trip.

I think most of us here would consider a car that handles like a mofo to be fun to drive.

Probably the majority of the US population would consider a car with straight line power fun to drive.

Then you have the off-roaders who consider a truck that can tackle any terrain fun to drive.

I don't think I've heard many people say they enjoyed driving a golf cart. I guess Prius owners have fun hypermiling, but that's because they enjoy being assholes and pissing off everyone else while they smugly teach us all a lesson about environmental responsibility, not because the car is actually fun to drive.

I'm having a hard time believing that T25 handles well enough to satisfy us, has enough power to satisfy the straightliners or has any other attributes that would actually make it fun to drive. If Toyota thinks that thing is fun, they haven't learned anything at all from the 86.
