Honestly don’t buy this car. It’s way overpriced for what it is (hardly classifiable as a car) and is tiny. I just like the design and wanted to share it. Also is a car and I don’t like the concept of cars as a default mean of transport in general, but I appreciate the design choices.

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

I’ve unfortunately grown as a car guy in the purely aesthetic side of things and just can’t stop appreciating clever designs when I see them

Which makes me wonder if people don’t realize they are the ads

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.

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

Like even with the new texts it’s literally just an ad

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

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

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
