Sadly, the coolest car of the show won’t be sold here. Transmission maker Aisin brought along this Dihatsu Copen – it makes a Fiat 500 look enormous.

I will have one with the doors please; I assume that’s an optional extra but for snow days it would be swell to have them.
A Daihatsu/Dihatsu Copen isn’t really that cool (even with an ironic ‘cool’). They are tiny as and not particularly fast. I think they are only 700cc. Not that cheap either, at least not outside of Japan.

It’s the new all-glass Garmin 1000 avionics system. So that when you throw it out your office window, whoever’s inside will be able to navigate.
