This is not a detail. This is the core market of the car and it has been perfectly designed to address it. This is a clean, compact, two seaters with a size and performance profile perfectly suited for a city looking like Paris. It's probably going to make a killing as a ride sharing solution. It's a very interesting new value proposition (small, slow, clean, quite cheap) and it does so using an extremely aggressive engineering proposition (only 250 parts, perfectly symmetrical, similar front and back). This car is a design master class. The fact that you fail to see that is on you. Meanwhile it is selling very well.
