I can't decide if this thing is cute or ugly.  I originally had the same feelings about the first generation Scion xB (Toyaota bB) I owned for 12 years, but then it grew on me.  I miss that car (aka. fridge, toaster, box).

It seems that this one isn't easy. So let me give you a hint. It is special designed for mail delivery and it can drive in the same speeed forward and backwards. So that should be enough for a hint.

It seems it is too tough. So one last hint. It was build in the time where the VW Type 147 Fridolin was build.
