    After all the advances through the years in car design, this dink mobile is what Mitsubishi has to offer?

    Better stick to vacuum cleaners.

    Grab that cab!

    @pamalot I agree. This is the sensible future of the world and it is treated like a golf cart.

    "Quebec Premier"

    Do all the Canadian provinces have premiers or just Quebec?

    Each province in Canada has a premier.

    Looks like the photo was taken about 2 seconds before a front end collision.

    I think the taxi stopped to pick up the bald guy in the red tie.

    Each province in Canada has a premier.

    And they pronounce it 'preeemier' for some reason. Enjoy your junket Monsieur Preeemier.

    Hope the wheels stay on this Mitsubishi model, unlike all the trucks they recalled...

    Looks like they captured the Japanese method of driving pretty well in that shot.

    Sit and wait for the oncoming traffic to get within 2 meters of the intersection, then dart out suddenly and hope for the best. If successful in avoiding a collision, drive at 20kph for the next half hour.

    Driving a private car in the 23 wards during daytime is a great way to waste your productive time. Say, are those cars designed to switch the engine off when the wheels are not turning? because it will save you a lot of fuel in Tokyo.

    the technology in that car is great but the design can be improved upon
