Which was it, Honda or Toyota came up with a more elaborate version of
this that was shown on TV a few months back. IIRC it had three wheels
and only carried one person. Looked somewhat like Granny's rocking
chair!

The Germans switched to larger cars as soon as they could afford them.
When I was there in the early 1970's the various tiny cars were
already curiosities and museum pieces.
No, this was a new design, basically a chair on three wheels that
reclined further back at higher speeds.
