I don't target everyone that enjoys cars in general, mind that, I'm a car enjoyer myself.

I mostly refer to a series of behaviours that some (right-wing) petrolheads seem to have which are against progressive ideas, like different approaches to transportation that go against the idea of car-centric cities or the switch to electric engines in favor of 'muh engine sound'. That's why I specifically target petrolheads, and while I agree that drivers are a lesser problem, let's not forget that drivers are buyers.

But I realize I've done a lot of generalizing saying that so I will refrain from using the phrase again in future posts. My apologies.

I was thinking of posting it next. I like that it's shaped like the car I used to draw when I was 8.

Saw a couple irl when I was in Iceland and I can confirm it's definitely a scrimblo car.

Honestly I wish minivans were more popular here in Europe, everytime I see one of these Japanese designs I'm like oooo silly little van :3

The funny thing is the target aren't even Italian drivers: most cities are not suitable for electric vehicles with a severe lack of electric charger stands, and a lot of the market is dominated by big family cars. If you need a small car, you'd just buy a used Smart that is way cheaper than a new Topolino and in general the budget for a new car is not enough for a full electric. Lots of opinions from Italian drivers have already been against the model, especially since it's "just" a restyling of the Ami. So yeah I love the car, but the time and place are totally wrong: I imagine electric microcars being a thing in Italy once batteries become cheaper

I'm so in love with electric microcars I just can't get enough

The Microlino is a genius design but I personally prefer the Topolino because it actually looks like a shrinked car (though it looks like the Microlino has better specs), which is also why I prefer it to the Citroën Ami which it is based on

Correct, tho I think it's mainly targeted to people who already have a car but personally I would see small electric vehicles as a more ethical alternative to cars and a more comfortable alternative to bikes for daily commuting.

No but the standard version has standard doors if you like your miniature car not stolen

Bonus: there is no AC, so the Topolino comes with a small portable fan for when it gets hot

Damn I didn't know I was popular 💀 thanks for the advice, will definitely do in the future since I was planning to start a series of posts like this one lol

I've unfortunately grown as a car guy in the purely aesthetic side of things and just can't stop appreciating clever designs when I see them

Honestly don't buy this car. It's way overpriced for what it is (hardly classifiable as a car) and is tiny. I just like the design and wanted to share it. Also is a car and I don't like the concept of cars as a default mean of transport in general, but I appreciate the design choices.

I just love this design so much idk why releases happy brain chemicals
