The Car Shopping Round (Round 64): Tears in Heaven

Hang on a second Deus, you said Mekong didn’t come into existence until recently.
I know, but for the purposes of this round, we’re gonna pretend they were around in the 2000s. Some kind of alternative universe thing I dunno.

Introducing the Mekong Tốt, the ultra cheap city car for Asia! It’s simple, practical and reliable. The ultimate no-nonesense runabout. Cheap but not built cheaply, small and easy to use, and full of character.

I have sent you my entry, I edited my pm to only have the one file you need, and I have posted an ad.

I like small cylinder engines, but… :no_mouth:

The Accursio Bruco 660

The Accursio plans to enter the new millennium with a throwback to the car that put them onto the market with the post-war hit, the Accursio 600. This tiny MPV was a major success for the company and saw them enter into the taxi market and family market instantly. As the new millennium marks its 50th anniversary, Accursio plans to return to their roots with the Bruco 660. In the design, a neo-retro post-modernist approach has been took as seen with the use rounded shapes, making the car stand out compared to the rows and rows of square boxes with square lights and have a connection to the original visually as well.

While being a call back to the past, the car certainly looks to the future as well as with its technological advancements. The Bruco’s ultra-efficient 3-cyclinder engine and aerodynamic under-tray allows the vehicle to reach an astonishing 70 mpg, and this isn’t done through sacrificing performance to unbearable limits as the car still does 0-60 in 17.3 seconds.

This car continues Accursio’s 95 year heritage of delivering great value as this is drivable art piece is currently being sold at your local dealership for 7800 USD (878000 JPY)

Did you ever ride around in a shopping cart when you were a kid? Do you want the same experience today?
Did you ever look at a weed trimmer and think ‘so dignified’? If so, the kei-car market is for you.
Here’s the wonderful new MinMaxi. Just look at the advanced design and high-tech goodies and notice how not brown they are. Not brown.


Here you get less of things. Under 5 Liters/100Km, under 13 seconds to 100Km, under 10k AutoMatoMoney. But also more things, like adaptive suspension and fancy alloys and a turbocharger. At least one of each.
The MinMaxi. Do more with less.
