Cant Believe there are such thing as tiniest car in the world.

I cant believe my eye when I saw that there is such thing as the world tiniest cars. this cars is well I consider it as eco-friendly cars, though at one glance it's a classic, but again just for the fun of it..if you are single then this is the car to go for...

Anyway..the trend to go for smaller cars with 1 passenger might one day become popular. as the world and city population grows, cars numbers grows, small is the only efficient way to travel.
