This is a new concept, uhm, "car" by Nissan.

I need more information before I can vote. Is it electric and tested for safety? If I'm going to die on impact in any sort of crash, then no way would I drive it. If it's electric, safe, and free then I don't care what it looks like. But I would prefer a red one.

Under normal circumstances I wouldn't drive a car that looked like this even if you threw it after me with both an instruction manual and a wrist strap, but I'd love to have one million dollars...

Good question. My apologies for forgetting to supply the link to the article.

The car is entirely battery-operated.

Hmmm..... I don't currently own a car, but if I were and that car was reasonably cheap to maintain then I would take it. It looks unusual perhaps, but according to the company it is very easy to drive, and I don't care a whole lot about how my vehicle looks so long as it is clean and functional. If I had no fuel or insurance costs then I would take it without question.

I don't like cars, I wish they weren't necessary.

I'd drive it, I can barely parallel park... I like it.

If someone just gave me a car, I don't really care what it looks like I'd drive it.

Nice car. I'll take the £1 million, drive the car for a week, then sell it off to the highest bidder.

Are you kidding me? It looks like something a titan might use as a kinky sex toy. Does it vibrate?

I voted that I'd rather have the girl. (Really, is that any real choice there?) BUT, I didn't think things through with enough craft.

I like this plan much better. With a million pounds, I could slip clean off the face of the earth, and would do so...

Good fortune,
