Honestly don't buy this car. It's way overpriced for what it is (hardly classifiable as a car) and id tiny. I just like the design and wanted to share it.
That's cool. I'd recommend attaching something in the description next time you post something like this. Something that makes it clear it isn't an ad. On Lemmy, you're able to attach text to images very easily. I don't really mind, but I saw someone else mention this post in a different community and don't want you getting shat on for liking cars.
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
lol yeah I don't like marketing in any shape but like, I do ask people I trust for recommendations when I need to buy something and that kind of "advertising" I don't really have a problem with
On the other hand when someone posts something like this on social media, even if it's not intended as an ad it's just viral marketing whether the person posting about it knows it or not
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
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 roblem, 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.

What? Lmao oh like word-of-mouth? Not a huge consolation but I’d rather get advertised to like that than by a corpo ig.

I saw one in person, and it made me irrationally happy

Me too. I also love the microlino design, very similar but the front is the door. Reminds me of the quirky cars of the 1960s
Microlino

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

Cool car but it's a shame to waste the historical Topolino name on a rebadge

What's wrong with petrolheads/gearheads? Fuck cars but people driving them for fun is arguably the smallest part of the problem

Looks a lot like the Citroen Ami (which I love driving).
vulpesfelix@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 3y
It's actually based on the Ami! Basically just a restyling, just like the Opel Rocks Electric.
