An oxymoron indeed.

Hmmmm, a strange thing indeed. Not only a weird concept, but strange that it should be attempted by Renault.

For the auto company incapable of building a car with reliable electrics, it seems like an oxymoron that they should build a completely electric car.

As seen on the streets of Amsterdam. Laughing

Think I'll fit the crimping nozzle today. Laughing

I have sat in one in Dundee. The local dealer sells them. It was actually pretty comfortable. There are no side windows on it.
I would actually like one, it would be great for nipping down to the local shops knowing it costs nothing to run. Previously..

Scotland 2017 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Loire Blue

Saw one at a show in Glasgow. I think the lack of windows will definitely limit it's appeal in the UK! Whistle Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

United Kingdom 2005 Range Rover Vogue Td6 Bonatti Grey

I think there will soon be a market for windows in them with some kind of sliding option as they dont come with AC or the like do they ...

Can imagine they are pretty dam nippy though and would be great fun about town knowing it costs magic beans to run Very Happy FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

I had a look at these at the Geneva motorshow, they look like good (if slightly impractical) fun. my main concern is where do I put the kids?

Then the windows, not a big fan of being cold and wet in the winter...

The no side windows is more a security thing for me. Imagine parking the FFRR with all the windows down, going away for the day and expecting all to be well when you return! I'm sure if this was left anywhere other than a garage, scum would put rubbish in it, try and climb in etc.. Actually, they could probably pick it up!
I seem to remember there was a back seat in this as well. Previously..
