It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I'm all for microcars, but why do they all have to be so boxy and ugly?

Utilitarianism? I don't know though, I like of like the aesthetic of some of them.

I'm sure there are people that like the look, and I'm not saying they shouldn't exist. I'd just like to see one, just one, with a more sporty look. Apart from anything else, a more aerodynamic vehicle is a more efficient vehicle, even at 45km/h as any cyclist knows, and these are all as aerodynamic as a brick.
