And it is here that hovers The entangled challenge of replication. Not as in the Foucault fold, but as in essence, force and potency: the interior silent power of art. Should We Reproduce the Beauty of Decay?

The steering effort is fairly high at low speeds, just like an E92 3-series. With the pedal mashed, the Twizy’s mushy regenerative braking setup disappears and the anvil drops. Then a Prius taxi in my draft suddenly stops, rightfully so, for the next yellow, and I do too. It’s the Mulsanne straight with Chinese restaurants. I punch the Twizy through a chain of yellow lights on Seventh Avenue, flat out. Without side windows or insulation and with the asphalt vibrating my ankles through the plastic floorboard, that speed feels more like 55 mph. Nissan just started renting these cutesy buggies by the hour in San Francisco, and while it has no intention of offering them elsewhere in the U.S., the company’s PR staff packed a bunch in their suitcases so New Yorkers could gawk at them during the city’s auto show week. Looking somewhat like a motorized Little Tikes Coz圜oupe, the Twizy is 14.1 inches stubbier and 16.8 inches narrower than a Smart Fortwo. Yet another strangely endearing French design from Nissan’s corporate partner, the Twizy has been on sale in Europe since 2011 as a quad/microcar/neighborhood electric vehicle. The New Mobility Concept is a rebadged Renault Twizy (we’ll call it Twizy from here on out). “It’s a lot smarter than the f**king Smart car,” exclaimed one cyclist, peering down into the tiny bubble cabin. For instance, when I whipped Nissan’s New Mobility Concept around Manhattan, cyclists and cab drivers and otherwise dumbfounded citizens fell in love with all 92 inches of it. When they see something they like (or don’t), you’ll know about it. But New Yorkers are neither cold nor indifferent. New York is the greatest city in the world, so New Yorkers should be excused for any superiority they feel over those who live outside the five boroughs. Anyone accusing New Yorkers of being cold, indifferent, and self-important is only correct about the last part.
