The specs are terrible, and the cost is insane. That's why I hate electric cars like this one.

Do you know what would be really cool? A bike designed by Katsuhiro Otomo (like the one from "Akira"). That would be awesome to have Cool !

I think the thing is adorable! But, I do think it only belongs in a car collector's garage because I honestly can't see that thing on a real street anywhere.

the fourth car in the "CheroQ" series


Correction, that should be "Choro Q". You see Takara has a whole line of mini, somewhat SD toy cars (among other things) called Choro Q. These are like life size versions of those cars. CQ Motors is actually a division of Takara.

I can see it all now. A race between this, a cheapy go-kart, a souped up mart kart, and a motorized scooter. TAKIN' ALL BETS! 2 TO 1 ON THE RUNAWAY RIDING LAWN MOWER!

Gee only 9?

If they making that few, it doesn't matter what it looks like.

The price? More expensive than we'd like, but there's lots of cars around that price and you won't run out of gas ^^;;

It actually sort of looks like a car you'd seen in Dragon Ball or Dr. Slump.

Yeah, my first thought was, "Is it going to have perpetually-angry eyes and ridiculously huge shoulders?"
