          I rented one in Italy for a vacation. Loved it. Seats 6 but still can be parked in European cities, great fuel economy, and no blind spots. Two rows of 3 bucket seats.

            It won the Top Gear Car of the Year 2000. It was also voted Top Gear Magazine’s Family Car of the Year for four years in a row, from 2001 to 2004. It seats six in two rows. They had one variant that ran on propane. 12 year production run in Europe. Another 5 years in China. 343,000 sold. It was extremely space and fuel efficient, because of the design for aero.

            you want stupid and bizarre looking…

            Looks like they paid a designer who got halfway through designing the car (the bottom half) and then fired them in favor of some project manager’s nephew who’s “good with computers.”

          I think that was precisely their target market with this and I’m sure Florida and Arizona are full of them. They really are hideous though, much more in person.
