    Ha ha...you're hilarious. I want to take a picture of Montreal new police toy, but I'm afraid I'll get lock up.

    Cute, looks like a toy car rather than something more serious!

    LOL!

    Of course now, I'm wondering what they're using it for. Whatever, I hope we see more cars like this little GEM all over the world.

    They use it in the penal colony on the tiny Gorgona island, where normal cars aren't allowed.

    If the prisoners were really small, they could lock them up in that rear compartment.

    Maybe it's got a turbo under the hood to better catch escapees.

    Wait a minute, there's no hood!

    Cute, though.

    Adore your sense of humor!

    Yes, we American's have really screwed up with the whole SUV thing. I'm appalled by them.

    I'll never forget when I was in Cannes, France with my now husband, seeing a Hummer with US plates! I was embarrassed.

    Best,

    Nancy

    Why is everyone LOLing? I don't get what's funny. ;)
    I don't think I've seen this eco-car before. I keep thinking that it would be nice to have a smart car for local hops to the market or library, but I'd be afraid of getting squashed by the SUVs.
