How appropriate that a car not much bigger than a cellphone (okay, that's an exaggeration, but this thing's pretty tiny) would get slapped with Nokia branding, right? Sadly, the integration between the automotive and cellular worlds isn't particularly tight here; Renault hooks up proud new owners of Twingo Nokia special editions with
Nokia 6110 Navigators -- perfect for use with the integrated Bluetooth -- but that's about it. There's some sort of "Nokia tech-themed" decal stuck on the Twingo's B-pillar, too, but we're pretty sure that thing would have to get removed right quick if we found ourselves with one of these in the garage. Sorry, Nokia; don't get us wrong, we're happy to take a 6110 off your hands, but no free advertising for you. Especially when it doesn't look badass.

This thing is UGLY.
If you want to appeal to the young-adult, urban/pop demographic, put Nokia technology in a low priced sports car like the SCION TC, HONDA CIVIC, FORD FOCUS or VOLKSWAGON JETTA.
All these cars good use a good GPS system with bluetooth connections.
Dude... except for the civic 2 (hatch version) all the others are family cars.

your comment sucks twice
Uh, that's a City-car for us Europeans :P
YOU WOULD know about SUCKING wouldn't you?
Btw. this 'Nokia car' happens to have iPod docking station, I guess Nokia musicphones weren't good enough ;)
I've been looking for an nice small car, but it won't be this one. The front half does look decent, but I don't like the look of it's back, and that B-pillar... ugh. Please don't call that geeky, call it ugly, like it is. :P IMHO, of course. I'll also pass on the ipod dock.
After the ingenious original Twingo, Renault really jumped the shark with this. The ZoE concept was far, far ritzier and modern.
