I’ve been watching and waiting for the Tango to come to market forever.

I sat in one well over a decade ago, and it was pretty cool! I'm sad it never really got beyond cool prototyping.

It's a washing machine on wheels. I love it!

I'm all for microcars, but why do they all have to be so boxy and ugly?

Utilitarianism? I don't know though, I like of like the aesthetic of some of them.

I'm sure there are people that like the look, and I'm not saying they shouldn't exist. I'd just like to see one, just one, with a more sporty look. Apart from anything else, a more aerodynamic vehicle is a more efficient vehicle, even at 45km/h as any cyclist knows, and these are all as aerodynamic as a brick.
