This is the cutest six-wheeler the world has ever seen

Per any motor show, there’s bound to be a fair share of hot rides, model refreshes and straight up oddities.

The 2020 Chengdu Auto Show is no different with its own cute take on things, as these pictures from autohome.com.cn shows...

Enter the Wuling Hong Guang Mini EV Pickup 6x2, a car that many dubbed on forums as ‘a plastic toy car’.

Except it isn’t, it’s real, and I really want one. 

Yes it looks a lot like the Mercedes-Benz G63 6x6 AMG, but apart from the six-wheels, there's nothing in common.

For starters, there’s no 5.5-litre V8 to feed, only a cheap-to-run, all-electric motor.

Makes sense, since it’s based on the toylike Wuling Hong Guang Mini EV anyway.

Oh and it being all electric means it’s quite possibly the world’s first all-electric six-wheeler. 

All 27 PS goes to only two-wheels (middle axle) though. Still, that shouldn’t pose a problem going through rough terrain as the teeny 12-inch wheels are wrapped in all-terrain tyres.

Small, but definitely tons easier to find than the 37-inchers on the AMG.

Charging port is beneath the logo.

It caught my eye because of how modern it looks. LED lights front and back, concealed charging port and hardy two-tone matte paint means it does look tough. 

Inside, there’s plenty of modern touches on an otherwise sparse interior.

There’s a flat-bottom steering wheel, digital instrument cluster and dial-shaped shifter.

Topping it off are coloured detailing around the upper dashboard, panel switches and seats.

We all like forbidden fruits and unfortunately this is highly unlikely to make it here. If it does though, I’ll be waiting in line...

Oops... Something broke.

Review: Chery Omoda 5 in Malaysia - Bang-for-buck hero does its best to exorcise ghosts of Chery's past

Something about rising tides and lifting boats paints the picture of the Chinese car industry, and among the pleathora of startup small boats rolling into the vast sea you have your vessels; built on the back of years of trial and error, no doubt buoyed with a full coffer. Of course, for a fair few companies, the motivation to chart new waters is to correct missteps of years prior. 奇瑞, or Chery to you and I, will know very well what the latter means. Yesteryear's QQ and A160 were a crack at the

Toyota's Kinto is getting bored, finds a way to make the AH30 Alphard and Vellfire sliding doors close faster

You know how some cars can be truly fantastic except for one minor detail that you just can’t overlook and it ends up ruining the entire driving experience. It could be a terrible head unit or a bad seating position. Well, some of the engineers at Toyota’s Kinto subscription service thought that could be the abysmally slow speed of the sliding doors on the previous AH30 generation of the Toyota Alphard and Vellfire. Either that or they must be getting really bored over there. Or someone has secr
