ChadTower:
Maybe because you have to be 5' tall to drive it?
boykster:
I dig it, I'd love to own that car.
they're "oddballs" because they know they'll never ever be sold/available in the US due to many reasons.

Ummm.....danny?

They're not just limiting the term "oddball" to body design, that's why.
If I were being given that car, I'd take it in a heartbeat - it's got to be the emissions requirements that make it an "oddball".
Funny, that. It'll be sold in Europe, which rails against us. Doesn't that make it a car that shouldn't be sold, pot, black, kettle and all? ;) Or is that an "affirmative-action" car, being targeted towards a minority so as to avoid following the "equal opportunity for all, instead of equal opportunity for SOME" theory? ;D
Jeez danny, way to post this in the wrong forum.

Can I trade the wife and kids in for this?! :drool:
