You’re wrong, but you are entitled to an opinion.

I've always liked the weird and unusual!
You only dislike the SM because it is French.
You like it really.

oh the list just keeps growing.. what about this.. designed purely to make motoring as cheap and as miserable as possible..the only car EVER that makes me want a tesla with self driving.... A joylous piece of mood hoovering tripe..... ladies and gentlemen allow me to introduce you to the epitome of Indian automotive genius that is the pride of Tata the nano... (नैनो) i did wonder it nano is actually Hindi for SH1TE, but no according to google translate that is in fact - शिट
that is just appalling.......

,
I think that just five or six were produced, of which one was rhd. Walter Treser had a very good reputation as an automotive engineer so the concept was quite well received at the time, although the execution was very marmite. I saw one at Castle Combe years ago and have pics of it somewhere.
Panther also produced oddities of which the hideous Rio was Dolomite based, and they also did a couple of six-wheelers which didn't exactly take the car world by storm.

If you braked really, really hard, do you think it would do a forward roll?
It has that look... i would not want to need to be in it to try that.. still probably cheaper to be buried in than a coffin......

WTF is it a hovercraft or a fairground ride or what? It has no wheels.

Actually yes it is, someone took a Lazer body and built a hovercraft. Note skirts, and exhaust for fan motor. Hated to use that pik, as the vehicle is kind of cool, but its the only one I had of a Lazer.

Tata Nano review | Autocar
Cheap and undeniably cheerful. Unbelievable value, if only you could buy one in the UK.
Funny that as Autocar has possibly given it more stars than any of the Maserati’s we drive.
