Default The Zoop Car - Proof that fashion designers are on drugs

Quote:
With world oil prices continuing to soar through the roof, alternative transport energy is a hot topic. The world’s latest design in electric cars comes from what is possibly the world’s most unlikely source – a fashion design house.

wonder how anyone could think a bubble for a roof would pass a crash test.
thankfully they cant, so this type of stuff isnt going to happen any time soon.

Well that one re-writes modern car looks, according to The Car Show, the new Suzuki Swift is apprently a new cult car.

That car is about as cult as my ED is classic.

Wouldn't you eye hurt after driving around in the sun looking through yellow plastic / perspex?
What about sunburn not to mention it would be a sauner under tyhe canopy.
Yellow tyre?

It honestly looks like a helicopter with no rotary engine or blades.

I think it looks pretty cool.

Hemi under glass anyone?

they are probably not selling as many atrocious expensive clothes so to get attention have designed an equally ridiculous car. It aint going anywhere past their 'fashion house' but it has gotten attention, the desired outcome....

i think it was funny when Homer released his car, this is just sad.
