yes-honey-left I'm just trying to get to the grocery store why do I need to get $60,000 dollars in debt and have something I can't fit into most parking spots?

I’ve seen videos on XHS of people kitting the inside out all comfy af and eating lunch / chilling in what I presume are vehicles similar to this. They look sick and have inspired me to deck out my car like that for my work naps.

Not the Americans in the comments assuming she lives in her car

We have a two car household, with a 2 car garage. We're both restricted to buying American-style "compact cars" that are relatively large, so that we can barely fit both in the garage. I would really like these to be available in the US so that we could get a van+minicar in the garage.

Geome Panda Knight. For men who like ladders. It has big bumpers, tow hitches, handles on the bonnet, wheel arch extensions, sidebars, cool wheels, roof rails, and that ladder.

This gendered marketing is really funny, but I cannot deny that I fucking love ladders and would buy this in a heartbeat. (Honestly, I'd take any of these models.)

i want one so bad. the best the US allows is those japanese kei trucks which in theory should be cheap but once you get it imported you’re still paying quite a bit for it afaik

I saw one for sale just driving by, I wish I had stopped to take a picture of the number and yet I can't afford it anyway

They got called smartcars in europe after the brand that popularised the style. They all get called that.

Very useful to have a small car in cities. You see them all the time in the UK

Laotoule are magnificent, however there are concerns on safety from the central government. I'd love to own one but they don't pass my country's car standards...

To be fair it's a lot easier to build a safe car when your crumple zone is 3x as long.

(Unless you're Musk I guess)
