Is this legal ?

EV SUV<< >> 830-horsepower
Sounds like distorting the essence of EV

Toyz for boyz.

In a country where rolling coal is legal why wouldn't it be?

I guess it depends what you think the essence of EV is. Is it something super-efficient like the Aptera (which started out with an ICE)?

VW going out breaking lap records with the iD.R?

Or just electric versions of what's come before, which seems to be what most of the major manufacturers are doing. In most of its civilian uses the Hummer was unnecessary and inefficient, so continuing the tradition in an electric version isn't much of a surprise. Tesla's 'ludicrous mode' power output isn't far off that, in an outwardly more sensible vehicle.

If the goal is R&D and efficiency I agree, but THIS ... is a typical Hummer response as you say

Well we can't blame those boyz, we aren't much better sometimes, but at least we keep it at home .

A weird front on a modern automobile?

I liked this one, that green colour seems to be popular then in Japan, reminds me the Subaru I posted in #377

How do you change a tire on this beast. 1950 Nash Statesman 2 Door

I am a fan of the odd, tiny Japanese autos and trucks (mostly of yore) -- FWIW.
One sees the tiny trucks sometimes in the US, mostly as groundskeeping vehicles.
The Subaru 360 was imported to the US, at least for a time. Road & Track tested one as their April Fool road test report way back when.

Let's see what I can rustle up from The Collection...

I love the Honda Civic precursors:

Z600

N600

My first car was a 1974 Honda Civic.

A cinema legend too!

I remember seeing those (Z) 600s in Baltimore in my high-school days. I remember sitting behind one (an orange one, just like the one in the photo posted above, and reprised below) in a traffic backup in the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel (Horrible Tunnel, as it was known -- and probably still is!) one day. I had a '74 Bronco that rather literally towered over it. I also remember noticing how high up (relatively speaking) the bumper was mounted relative to the rear window.

... and freaking gorgeous it is, as well./

Were these the ones that had the 350cc motorcycle engine in them?

I think it was a 600 cc twin put together a lot like a motorcycle engine.

The onomatopoeiac "S-Cargo".

I hear it's sluggish.
