  "So to sum up, we've got some sort of electric octopus car with a robot-monkey-alien passenger built in? Well, that seems to be pretty accurate. Other cool features include the single door that comprises the entire front section of the car -- much like the classic BMW Isetta -- and the McLaren F1-style three-passenger seating with central driving position." -Motor TrendMotor Trend: Electric Octopus: Nissan's Pivo 2 Concept to Debut at Tokyo Show (October 2007)
