An Ikea car? (It's close to April 1)

Ikea Creates Buzz With Mystery Car - Wheels Blog - NYTimes.com

"Car and environmental enthusiasts are buzzing this week about a new video posted on Ikea France’s site and a second micro site, touting the release of a coming Ikea car concept, the Leko..."

"...On the Leko micro site, however, an announcer claiming to be a designer by the name of Christophe Grasz touts the Leko as the car of tomorrow. He goes on to explain that the Leko will be practical, respectful of the environment and accessible by all. The Leko will also be ultra-economical, capable of reducing dependency on oil, and will also reduce CO2 emissions. Perhaps most telling, the announcer ends by saying that the Leko will be able to transport Ikea goods and that the system will be the most responsible way to go to the furniture store."

My husband had a Scion and I had a Mini Cooper, so you can imagine my delight when I came across this picture. Not that it has anything to do with your link, but it's a cool pic !

I thought an Ikea car exists already ...

(OK, so it's not like one has to assemble a 240 themselves, but seeing how the newest ones are already 16 years old now, there will be some (re)building from time to time. Unless your's is of the sub-$500 variety ... then some (re)assembly is required.)

Re: An Ikea car? (It's close to April 1)

For those who were sick the day French was taught...
The idea is to carpool when you go to IKEA - ask for someone's car,offer yours,... so less cars are on the road ... to IKEA
The French website allows people to get in contact with like-minded ikea shoppers, and plan their trip.
No assembly required, for the car that is.
