A Little Nissan Qashqai

They don't have Nissan Qashqais in America.

Is it because they can't pronounce it?

That can't be it - they manage well enough with their own pronunciations of Jaguar and Hyundai.

Although their version of the Qashqai is a lot easier to pronounce - I give you the Nissan Kicks:

Which looks remarkably like a Qashqai and is about the same size.

WHICH ISN'T SMALL!

It seems to be 85mm shorter than a Qashqai though - which is probably why it has made it in to Autoguide's list of the Smallest Cars on Sale Today 

- in America.

Their smallest car is the Chevrolet Spark.  That used to be on sale here in the UK.  It was bland.

I suppose it is small - albeit not as small as a Fiat 500.

Drive.com.au have a story about one of those that is antibacterial.  It has a UV lamp in the glovebox to zap Covid too.

And a link to U2.

You can only drive it where the streets have no name.

It is part of a partnership between Stellantis and Red.  Red is a company co-founded by Bono which seems to be linked to fighting health emergencies around the World.

Like Covid.

But, if a Fiat 500 is still too big for you, you may be interested in this Swiss, electric, Isetta:

It has two seats.

So it can be driven with or without you.

Booze Bus

This is one of those stories that asks more questions than it answers.

Here is the Oxford United Team Coach:

His name is Karl Robinson.  And here is the Oxford United Team Coach:















Don't know its name. It may not even be the current one - there are lots of pictures on the Internet of different Oxford United Team Coaches.
Anyway, whichever is the latest coach has a clever device fitted to stop it being started if the driver has been at the bottle.  It also has a clever device to flood the vehicle with cleansing alcohol to kill off any Covid germs in the vicinity.

Now, can you spot a problem here?

The BBC version of the story is here.
