The number of people who will drive a clown car like that is pretty small.

Well no. This is a "no permit" car. It is a type of car that you can drive without a driving license in France (you just need to pass the written exam). These are always very small (due to their nature), and are actually quite popular, mostly in city. Either because they are used by people who lost their driving license but still need a car in the meantime, or they are used by people who live in the city and don't want to bother getting their driving license (which is much more expensive and time-consuming in France than in the U.S).

It's a quadricycle, not a "clown car", and with an excellent price / quality ratio.
45 kph, range of 70 km, at 6000 euros.

It'd be a great commuter car. Cheap to buy, cheap to "gas" up, cheap to maintain. You're usually only commuting with yourself anyhow. If I still had a commute (and they sold these in the US) I'd definitely buy one.

It gets you from A to B, it keeps you dry and warm/cool, it's cheap and it's easy to park. It's basically everything you want from a car in a European city.
