Aw, it's so cute! [Smile]

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Does it go "pook, pook, pook"?

Posted by Jim-Me (Member # 6426) on :

I hope so... that would be even cooler [Smile]

Ew.

Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :

I want one!

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

That's awesome.

Posted by The Rabbit (Member # 671) on :

Ooooo!!!

I like it.

70 mpg, 118 mph

Practical and cute.

Posted by unicornwhisperer (Member # 294) on :

70 mpg?!! Woa!
That is a sweet car!!
[Hail]

So is it only a two-seater? And what's with the five feet of space between the driver seat and the windshield?

Posted by Sopwith (Member # 4640) on :

Still think it looks like a tadpole. [Laugh]

Posted by ChaosTheory (Member # 7069) on :

Practical but I wouldn't want to touch it with a ten foot pole. Unless it's pan seared in a skillet I don't want it.

I expect better looking from Mercedes Benz [Frown]

"70 mpg, 118 mph"

This makes it look like it can do both at the same time.

Very European. I suspect it will sell well in France.

Acknowledging the fish as the inspiration for the Bionic Car, Mercedes-Benz issued a statement calling the boxfish "a prime example of the ingenious inventions developed by nature over millions of years of evolution."

Oh insult my religion will you? See if I ever buy a Merc.

Posted by Leon the Professional (Member # 8267) on :

Silly European cars.
I'd take one of these bad boys any day of the week.

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Awww, hehe. Though I like bugs better. [Smile]

Posted by The Pixiest (Member # 1863) on :

I wonder how it would fare in a crash.

Though that MPG has me drooling.

So is "pook, pook, pook" how you spell the Bionic man jumping sound? Because that's what was going through my head. But I would spell it more like "djz-djz-djz-"
