Pivo 2 Unveiled: Generation of Lazy Drivers in the Making

Started by tofugu · 10 months ago

If you’ve browsed Tofugu Flickr at all, you’ve probably seen this picture of Nissan’s 2005 concept car, the Pivo. It’s stout, round body makes it incredibly cute, like something a young Tokyo-ite would slap a Hello Kitty decal on and carry a ... Continue reading »

    Kawaii!!! No seriously, that car looks pretty cool. Where would you drive it though? Certainly not on the freeway.

    Lol. Yeah. The hover car. I thought since they were in DBZ, that Japan had them already. :\ This does seem pretty cool though. I think it would go faster though right...

    Wow, would people actually buy that thing? it looks retarded. Just watching that girl slowly pivoting in place was so ridiculous. How many times do we have to go in reverse? It's not that hard. Same with parallel parking, just spend like 5 minutes learning how to do it correctly.

    I was more impressed by the Lexus that parallel parked itself with the press of a button.

    I agree with Kirby-san!!

    Ever since AP Environmental Science class, and especially now that I'm considering adding Environmental Science & Policy in additon to my Japanese major, I feel really uncomfortable every time I burn up those darn fossil fuels.

    BATTERY POWER IS AWESOME!
    THE CAR IS REALLY CUTE!
    DARK BLUE IS MY FAVORITE COLOR!
    R2D2-NAVIGATOR ROBO HEADS ARE PRETTY SILLY, BUT ALSO COOL!
    I MUST HAVE IT!

    OK, ALL STOP TALKING IN ALL CAPS NOW, IT MUST BE GETTING REALLY ANNOYING!

    I heart tofugu.

    While they are both sickingly cute, the first one what better looking. But why does it have to be so wide. I'd be worried is be side swiped while driving down, traffic heavy, Tokyo streets.

    wow..... I definitely like the improvements in design from the first one.... Absolutely incredible concept for a car. It will be interesting to watch and see where they take the technology they've created here and see what they come up with... :D

    Oh dear, it looks pretty bad in design and the fact that it's so slow isn't too promising either D:. Then again, the concept is pretty amazing but as Erin said, it is pretty much for the lazy drivers out there.

    First we all know that Dell cannot risk losing their stronghold in the server space therefore a potential relationship with AMD is bound to occur. That still leaves the question of the consumer market.With the recent Intel/Apple relationship it’s clear that 15% (or whatever) of the consumer space for Dell may not be enough. Apple is likely to go www.chase.com to 8% with the help of Intel over the next year or so. The PC gaming market is threatening Dell’s “perceived technology leadership” – and ultimately the consumer space. The Alienware brand is cooler than Dell, and perhaps a likely candidate for Dell to take over based on size alone.
