nice split window.

Lots of glass too...I like that...could be a good commuter...much nicer looking than the smart car...those italians make some pretty motor vehicles...

I like the looks of this car better than the Scion/Toyota iQ, but the iQ has 4 seats (3 for real adults, 1 for a child). And yes, both the Nido EV and the iQ are better than the Smart.

Nice, clean design... Very euro, with a touch of iMiEV in it.

Still looks too small in the back for a cello.

It has a hatchback, so it has a chance... especially if they make it a front wheel drive?

It doesn't look any bigger than a Smart...

It looks like it will fit my mandolin just fine. You may want to rethink that cello thing...
