First, I would double over and laugh as hard as I have ever done in my life. Then I would run to the bathroom because I had just peed my pants from laughing so hard. I would then return and laugh some more. Then I would take a couple puffs from my asthma med because I would start having an attack.

Finally, I would turn around and leave because I would be depressed that the car their trying to sell me looks happier than anything should be in this economy.

If you can find a photo of the front, they did.

I don't like it either, but it probably looks a lot better in real life. The über-hyped Kia Soul looks pretty normal and staid to me in person. Even the Alien Green one.

If two people are riding in it = Two peas in a pod.... Don't forget GM's pointless PUMA thing, too.

It may be pointless to rational people, but to Washingtonians, it's a whole different story. It doesn't have to make sense; it just needs to please the statists and bureaucrats.

I think GM and Chrysler are engaging in things like this because they're hoping the hype will buy them less intervention from the political elite.

A Toaster on Wheels, for a fair bit of bread?
Perhaps it'll pop up on city streets someday? ;-)

"A Toaster on Wheels"

That would be the Scion xB. Just look at the thing and tell me you don't want to push down on the hood and see if bread pops out.
