A Beetle and a Barracuda love child?

I would bet a case of beer that if it was anything real in the prototype world it is some sort of EV. It has all the design cues of one. A fully electric MR2 would be the best joke ever pulled on people.

That thing's hideous. Even for some kind of Japanese exclusive kei car, I don't see who in their right mind would purchase such an ugly thing. I can't believe that's real. Honda's S660 is a sweet looking little car, why can't Toyota do something like that?

Hmmm, I might consider that. I guess the M would now stand for Megahertz.

Daihatsu tackles some of their kei car duties. And they have the Daihatsu Copen coupe/roadster that I guess competes with the Honda S660.

Whatever this is, it could just be a JDM only type of deal. People buy some pretty odd looking cars in Japan.

The more I look at those renders the more I think they want to bring this shit back in a smaller version.

I decided a few days ago that I am annoyed by the term "range anxiety." It feels suspiciously like one of those clever marketing terms designed to flip the script.

It's not my fault that I like being able to fill up and go. Standardize the batteries and set up hot-swap stations. Then we can talk.
