I drive a coupe and I'll admit it is a little gay (no offence to anyone) but I like it(I also like listening to the village people but I digress).
But this thing, sorry but I would not been seen dead in it (which according to safety tests is near impossible) let alone alive.
As for pedestrian safety. They shouldn't be on the road. I am not going to buy a car based on how safe it is for the person I hit with it. (If am using a car to hit someone I am not going to use one that bounces off them).
Although I have seen how easy these things are to park as it is as long as normal cars are wide.

Great. Y'all run out and buy one. I'll stick with a real vehicle. 20 miles a gallon doesn't bother me too much.
Can't Honda bring something like the CRX back? Didn't those get like 55mpg, while being a halfway substantial car (albeit for only two people)?
As for its appearance, "cool" is a very subjective term.
Insert obligatory "US is teh suck, Europe is the coolest" troll here. (Yeah, if you want to be first in taxation, Statism, and irrationality)
I want to delete my account but Slashdot doesn't allow it.
Yeah only one problem.
