DISCLAIMER: this is not an ad. I just want to share cute car designs. I hate petrolheads.

      Honestly don’t buy this car. It’s way overpriced for what it is (hardly classifiable as a car) and id tiny. I just like the design and wanted to share it.

        That’s cool. I’d recommend attaching something in the description next time you post something like this. Something that makes it clear it isn’t an ad. On Lemmy, you’re able to attach text to images very easily. I don’t really mind, but I saw someone else mention this post in a different community and don’t want you getting shat on for liking cars.

      Which makes me wonder if people don’t realize they are the ads

        What? Lmao oh like word-of-mouth? Not a huge consolation but I’d rather get advertised to like that than by a corpo ig.

          lol yeah I don’t like marketing in any shape but like, I do ask people I trust for recommendations when I need to buy something and that kind of “advertising” I don’t really have a problem with

          On the other hand when someone posts something like this on social media, even if it’s not intended as an ad it’s just viral marketing whether the person posting about it knows it or not

      Me too. I also love the microlino design, very similar but the front is the door. Reminds me of the quirky cars of the 1960s

      Microlino

        I’m so in love with electric microcars I just can’t get enough

        The Microlino is a genius design but I personally prefer the Topolino because it actually looks like a shrinked car (though it looks like the Microlino has better specs), which is also why I prefer it to the Citroën Ami which it is based on

      No but the standard version has standard doors if you like your miniature car not stolen

      Bonus: there is no AC, so the Topolino comes with a small portable fan for when it gets hot

    What’s wrong with petrolheads/gearheads? Fuck cars but people driving them for fun is arguably the smallest part of the problem

      I don’t target everyone that enjoys cars in general, mind that, I’m a car enjoyer myself.

      I mostly refer to a series of behaviours that some (right-wing) petrolheads seem to have which are against progressive ideas, like different approaches to transportation that go against the idea of car-centric cities or the switch to electric engines in favor of ‘muh engine sound’. That’s why I specifically target petrolheads, and while I agree that drivers are a lesser roblem, let’s not forget that drivers are buyers.

      But I realize I’ve done a lot of generalizing saying that so I will refrain from using the phrase again in future posts. My apologies.

      It’s actually based on the Ami! Basically just a restyling, just like the Opel Rocks Electric.
