I went with another deposit holder to the Pittsburgh auto show and finally saw the car in person. I doubt there is anything I can say that is new to the regular readers here but for those of you who haven't seen it in person I was a bit surprised...
It is really freaking small!!
This, mind you, is coming from a guy who drives a MINI as his daily driver. Everything about the car was about 80% of the size I had somehow expected. It was lower to the ground, it was shorter in length, it was tighter to get in, the seats were more snug (or my butt is bigger than I thought), the shift knob was wee and the steering wheel seemed teeny.
All said, once I got used to the new dimensions it was perfect. There is no other car that acceptably suits the "go-kart" cliche better than this.
I think Yellow is seeming like a better color choice all the time just so people will be more likely to see and not squash me though.
