I think this one is not too bad looking especially as cars go these days I just hope the colors get better and they got to get that top speed up in order to be really popular in the US.

I thought this was kind of funny and distressing all at once ..

The City Car is backed by Prokhorov's Onexim investment group and bankrupt Russian truck manufacturer Yarovit, along with support from the CEA, Russia's energy agency. Strange bedfellows for a strange car?

Doesn't seem to bode well for the companies future right off to be partnered with a previous company gone bankrupt I would think..

thailand-related?

Don't think that really applies to the motor forum does it?? I sure hope not..

I just plan to assemble this car here, in Thailand. I think it will be popular here. Of course Japanese will make a lot of problem to me, because no one likes competitor.

Interesting. Conventional wisdom says that Thais won't like it, but given the success of the Nissan March, who knows?

This link goes right to the specs:

And they seem to be aligned with a local political group:

Eh? Are you saying you're directly involved financially with this project?

<deleted> base orange ??? That isn't a base color it's not neutral at all..

Weight on that spec page is contradictory and can't be right either, it states 650kg curb weight & 1550kg gross weight that's quite an conflict. I had read that it's gross weight was going to be 1550 lbs not Kilo's.

where is 130KPH limit legislated in the international market?
