There are plenty of "heavy quads" coming to the market or on the market already in Europe to try and reduce inner city congestion.

I think they're a good idea. Is you reduce the space a car takes up by 1/3rd then in a congested city in theory you can get 1/3rd more cars on any stretch of road.

If citrien ever uprated uprated Ami so it had a top speed if around 50 instead of 30 then it could well take off here.

I like the look of the MicroLino and would probably get one if they brought them over here.

Actually that's beautiful. Like when a leaf has dried to a "skeleton".

It doesn't look safe but stunning all the same.

Could these budget EV mini cars catch on here (if they conform to EU regs)?

While this won't correspond to EU regs I can imagine a version 3 that does retailing for around ten grand and selling like hot cakes.

They've even incorporated the scaffolding into their architecture.

While front door entry was "cool" it wasn't very useful. Especially in a shunt.

I forgot that one and I really like it.
