• People's car 27 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  There have been lots of "People's cars" over the years: The Ford Model T; Volkswagen Beetle; Tatra T12; Citroen 2CV; Fiat 500 etc. All these cars had the same idea of bringing motoring to the masses. They all survived incredibly long production runs, been evolved gradually and even now have legions of fans (and detractors) I'm not sure there's a true people's car in production today, so what should it do, what spec should it have, how should it look and what else would you do if you were planning to design a car like this?
