It does look like a Toyota iQ has had it off with a Smart, and this is the result.

Which i quite like.

 

The Headline i read was, 'Wham Bam thank you Yam'.

So down to Gordon Murray.

One of the prime requirements of a city car is good all round visibility.  If you are spending all your time in heavy traffic it is essential.  Looking at all of the pillars on this one, the all round view doesn't look too great.

 

It looks better than the IQ in that respect, so I don't expect it to join the list of vehicles which are too dangerous to be used for a driving test but I'll still pass.

 

Just because most other vehicles place visibility at the bottom of the list of priorities doesn't make it a good idea.

 

Or am I just being a boring old f**t for wanting to be able to see what I am doing?

Yep.  That's why boring old f**ts drive Roomsters 

 

I guess the pillars on the Motiv are necessarily wide to enable it to conform to crash test regs.
