China unveils new low-cost, nine-passenger family transportation system


Ever wonder why China's economy is beating the USA? It's all about efficiency! China has unveiled a new, low-cost mass transportation system with the following features:

• Multiple passenger capacity - room for the whole family!

• Permanent sunroof allows fresh air to flow through your hair.

• Extremely fuel efficient with a tight turning radius.

• Inclined theater seating gives all passengers a "front seat" view.

• Infant seat also doubles as a water bucket.

• Able to use bike lanes to bypass automobile traffic on the highways.

• Automatic air conditioning and heating (not controllable).

• Roll bar and seatbelts optional.

The baby in the bucket is clearly a ( bad ) Photoshop edit. The rest of the picture looks plausible.

Scary !
