Default Tokyo Motor Show: Nissan Pivo2







After a few days of regurgitating the same old story to the world's press, company PR men are apt to let little gems slip as fatigue and boredom set in. This year's classic comes from a Nissan PR man, who for the sake of his career, shall remain nameless.

The Pivo 2, replete with an R2D2 like co-pilot and wheels that can twist 90 degrees to the car's axis, was "designed with urban females in mind, as they have bad senses of direction and are not so good at driving." His words, not ours.

Interesting indeed

Can I wash my clothes in there? Better yet, where can I put my quarter to get a bubble gum?

That is hilarious. They hired Borat for PR.
