They really are cute!
I lived thru the LeCar and the Alliance(incredibly Motortrend's car of the year in 1981). I also lived thru a beautiful Peugeot, which kept the garage looking classy but was entirely innoperative.
No, I suffer with bad cars. I presently own British Early MGB GT's and a Triumph GT6 MKIII. I drive each one a few hundred miles a summer. An MGB GT Weighs in at 2,600 pounds curb weight. It seats two.
After reading your screen name I'm not surprised that cute French cars appeal to you. Cabbage Patch dolls, Pet Rocks, My Little Pony, Smurfs, and such have quite a following with certain groups.
Goofy/nifty things; saw them all over Germany. There's even a "sport" version (saw it, kinda neat) and SUV version.
They're coming to the USA in '06.
"They are really cute" Better not get in the way of my large gas guzzling SUV. It will cause all the cuteness to go away real fast. Seriously would you want to be in one of those tin cans and have a wreck?
yes these things (or something like them) are here in california now.
i have 2 of them stuck in the tiretreads of my expedition:)
