Just for the record, this weekend I found myself behind a small MDI van.
Our roads quickly diverged, so I don't know if it went far :D , but I really think it worked on air. In any case, I opened my window and the noise was like the cars you see on TV.

So Indy, is it relaxing to ride behind compressed air? :P

Otherwise, I quite agree with Mr. Langlois' message.

:D It's just weird to be behind. Just as it made me weird to come across Twizy (3 that followed each other) and 2 C0. But it must be said that I am next to an automotive pole, so I think it's very correlated! :D

Image Ah well, it really runs elsewhere than in the parking lot of their design office. :?:

Where was it. :?:
It was a factory prototype or a customer model. :?:
I am very surprised that the production started without the media talking about it. :frown:
You would not have confused with another brand. :?:

I actually had to make a mistake because the designs I see on their website do not match.
As for the noise, as it can resemble that of a small heat engine, it could maintain my confusion.
Sorry

Not so long ago I came across one with the same look
Lemon-orange.
Almost like this:

I opened the window to hear the sound of a sparkle. Like a license-free car (bigger) with a 3-cylinder diesel without a pot.
