Heck, there are bars, clothings stores and coffee shops here in Korea with car brands on them, along with other swiped brands from totally unrelated products. It's not new, and while it certainly doesn't fly in North America, it is very popular locally. There are a lot of bikes here with car brands on them.

Maybe it's because I'm short with big feet, but I think something like that would be great----it would definitely cure my overlap problem. I hope they line up dealers, or maybe they can sell 'em online. I have lusted after the Bianchi Minivelo ever since I first saw one years ago.

Apparently American auto brands have a cachet in the Far East; I told them it wouldn't work here. Hi Ghost, I actually mentioned to the Korean guy that putting car brands on bicycles was a bad idea.

Even Cadillac tried it, but the bikes were crap... If they really want to capture the attention of the U.S. market, name it "Pornstar" or something. After all, the porn industry is a multibillion dollar cashcow in the U.S.!!! Ha ha, just kidding -- probably a bad idea. That being said, that is one sweet looking minibike! Very blingy, too!
