Our colleagues in Paris got to drive Peugeot's BB1 concept car, a rare opportunity as concept cars usually get rolled out for display in a few auto shows, then never see the light of day again. The BB1 is small, designed as a city car, and runs on electricity, getting a range of 75 miles.

The BB1 includes an iPod dock mounted in the center of the steering wheel, which might prove to be a problem for the airbag. With an iPhone in the dock, the BB1 becomes Internet-enabled.

Watching this thing made me feel like I was going to fall off the edge of the Earth.

Why do car companies always take their most innovative engineers and pair them up with their wackiest designers?

75 miles on a charge is a notable achievement. The design, however, is absolutely horrid.

Like the Duc, this little car will get alot of "eccentric" buyers...

Some think the VW Beetle, AMC Pacer, Chrysler 300 are cool, go figure...
