From the offset, this might not look like the world’s cutest car, but that is where you come in; and when I say ‘you’, I mean the Japanese school girl inside of you. Because you see, Pino’s cuteness can be customized with a multitude of kawaii objects; like colorful seat covers, or CD wallets that look like hamburgers. These objects are first dragged and dropped onto the car over at www.pinoshop.jp before the car is actually purchased; akin to customizing a character in any MMORPG.
But best of all this car can be purchased for a measly 8,000 dollars. According to the October 2007 issue of Wired, 5,500 Pinos were ordered in the first month; doubling Nissan’s expectations. Despite its awesomeness, this car will not come to America because 90% of its populace can not fit into it.
