An employee of Japan's Electronic Vehicle maker Yodogawa, poses in its EV (electric vehicle) car "Meguru" at the Electronic Automotive Technology Expo in Tokyo. The lithium-ion battery powered three-wheeler features a flooring made from real bamboo and fan-shaped doors made from Japanese wood pulp paper.

One Tokyo downpour and those doors will be gone.

Looks like Yodogawa hasn't got a design department yet.

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. What happen to the creativeness of the Japanese people? I guess it went down the tubes with people trying to create things that makes no sense at all.

Cool looking car. I see it is built for wide-stance males.

It's basically a Japanese EV version of a Thai Tuk Tuk. While the design is OK, it still doesn't look practical for production.

Farmboy: If it had doors that provided some real protection and the sides weren't so exposed it might actually be a good vehicle for stop and go work situations.

I hope that they will not replace rickshaws with that car, can't see any nice legs from it.

Is this an early April Fools` joke? Japan is infamous for the wacky and the wierd - but this one takes the biscuit. The wierdest thing I have seen for years. "Global Warming" gone totally through the barrier or lunacy.

I know I can be critical sometimes, but this...thing is not only ridiculous, it's an absolute monstrosity. Adjectives fail me >_<

I can't help myself. I can't find anything aesthetically pleasing about it. Even the showroom woman seems to be staring at it as if to say "You can't be serious".

what a waste of time and money. why not just make a t-shirt that says "look @ me!!!". so much cheaper and less labor-intensive.

I'm surprised no one else has noticed that the frame of the vehicle appears to be painted with the same lacquer they use all over Buddhist temples.

I guess most of you have never been to the Tokyo Motor Show. This design is no more outrageous than some of the prototypes that are exhibited there.
