At the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show, Chinese automaker Geely displayed an interesting concept car called McCar, whose funny name reportedly stands for “Magic car” and “Motorcycle Car” , and has nothing to do with the famous chain of fast-food restaurants – unless you take into consideration the fact that there is a folding electric scooter sandwiched between the rear seats of the car…
The sub-compact model can accommodate four people plus one three-wheeled, foldable electric scooter, which can come in very handy in China's busy urban traffic. And if the owner leaves the scooter at home, there remains enough room in the back to house a standard fold-up wheelchair.
Designed to be equipped with either a gasoline-electric hybrid or a fully electric powertrain with a 12 kWh battery, Geely’s McCar has a driving range of 150 kilometers (93 miles) and can reach a top speed of 84 km/h (52 mph) in EV setup. As a hybrid, the gasoline engine extends driving range to 650 km (404 miles) and helps the car reach a maximum speed of 130 km/h (81 mph).

positevely surprised with chinese design! after subtle changes this is how Aston Martin Cygnet should look like...
Great hope they come to Canada.
In the summer. I WOULD GET TWO, ONE FOR EACH FOOT. IN THE WINTER THEY WOULD BE GREAT HEATED BEDROOM SLIPPERS.
I think this car is great. It looks great, it's innovative and clever. Well done!

You've got the foot in mouth disease. The cure for it is foot up your ass.
