One followed me this morning. Looked disgusting IMO, and how much do they cost!

I think they are and funky. There were a few at the Ring over the weekend and they got quite a lot of attention. Those 3 spoke wheels don't seem to stand up to clouting curbs very well though....

But what a great little fun car.

Saw one in a merc showroom at the weekend. They are tiny. I'd need to buy two - one for each foot!

They've been around for a while here and are quite a common site. I like them- the Brabus job I saw last week looked very, very nice.

They seem to be another car that works best in certain colours- all black being the best.

They look excellent, and makes a good rough noise, looks like a mini M-coupe, but I don't know where their market is. It's definately not a girls car (i.e. girls don't like it), it's quite angular and spartan inside, but with a 700cc engine and at £12.5k plus a grand+ of necessary options, it seems to miss the mark. If it had a even a 1000cc turbo with another 40 bhp I'd be more interested.

Should be safe if plastic (all the new renaults are most of them are 5* NCAP)!

Saw one in yellow nice little thing, even if the colour wasn't!
