Looks interesting, maybe one of these in LFS as a UF1 rival

Wonder if it will be £1200 when/if it's released here?, I can't see it personally.

I would buy one in an instant, would be perfect to get to work in

Plus it is rear engined so I'd assume it'll be RWD (to keep down costs), so it can be a DORITO!

And about as safe as a crisp packet if and when you hit something. I'll stick with something with bulk... I'd rather live.

Yup, the specs confirm it is RWD.

I'd own one of them. For being a cheapomatic it actually doesn't look too bad. It'd be cool for my short in-London runs

I wonder if we'll see any of them get riced to hell...

Meh, I ride a bike

I'd buy it, insurance would be dirt cheap

They should of named it "For Now". The Marx-Brother-like conversational possibilities would of been endless.

Isn't that a type of tortilla?

Meh, you have no taste. Twiglets FTW !

Hmm, tempting. Would be keen to see confirmed UK pricing.

/me grins at two posts above duke_toaster's (yes, that means I didn't bloody "lol")

I believe It will also be a free coffin (very compact and colourful) after a crash

Haha i wonder what the finance will be like on it

...few cents every month

Indeed, but isn't it also what all the "cool kid"s do these days because they saw it in FNF Tokyo Dorito?

For £1200 you could get a real used car instead of this invalid carriage.

Can you stick wings and neons and Type R stickers on it...and a FART CAN???

But this will have a 3yr (maybe more) warranty, not need MOT-ing, and most likely be the lowest insurance group that exists. It might even escape the London congestion charge.

A £1200 banger might get you more car for your money, but will be a lot more expensive in running costs.

I for one would be disappointed if you couldn't

Great, cheap cars so everyone can afford one. Too bad that once that happens it will be faster to just hop out of your car and walk...

Was my thoughts exactly. 33 hp wouldn't work for me at all in a car unless it weighed something like 50 pounds (110 kg) on my ride to work. Looks like death on wheels to me.

At $2500 US, you can get quite a nice used Toyota or Honda with 100,000 miles on it and probably be far better off without the warranty.

You only avoid congestion charge if you have a hybrid/big RC, as Clarkson found out in a P50, which is smaller than an Americans breakfast.

There aren't enough used cars for every one who needs a cheap car.
TBH, i quite like it.

But it'll only be ricing if you claim you are Schumacher, apparently. If you only rice it to change how it looks, goes or sounds then it's not ricing, and you're okay.




Car Football anyone? Cheaper than Aygos!

This Tata can be the ball.

Well that looks bloody ugly...On the other hand it's practical, and suitable for people living on not that much money
