    Yes.

    Also remember that the devs were top gear fans back in the day, and the pigeon got those stabilizers as a clear reference to the show.

    Very cool, so refreshing to come back to an exciting teaser!
    Pop-up headlights are always welcome, as well as those seats, I hope they will be swappable to other cars, I love the look of them already
    Will this be electric only? Or will we see some kind of Kei car variant with a 660cc I3 or something?

    Are these headlights actually pop-up, or are they fixed in this position? I can't tell how they would go down

    It looks kinda weird to have all that empty space if they’re fixed… maybe they recede into the hole behind them?

    I don’t know, Soliad really doesn’t fit the type of car this is.
    I think Ibishu Wigeon fits way better

    Name seems fine to me, I don’t see an issue with it. Expect it shares parts with the pigeon though due to the name similarity.

    It definitely shares the three-lug layout, so maybe they have the same suspension or the Wigeon is on a shortened Pigeon frame.

    I'm not talking about Ibishu, as that is a fictional brand. The Widgeon is loosely based off the Bond Bug, which is a British vehicle.

    It seems to make sense to me as a variant of the Pigeon, especially with the reused parts, etc., so unless they're planning on rolling out that new UI we're all waiting for (very patiently of course ;) ), how do you guys think this will work? Will it be a separate vehicle with many of the same parts (sorta like the D-series/Roamer), or same vehicle with different name (sorta like the FCV platform)?
