Japanese Car: A Celebration of Design

We in London is a bit blessed coz there's so much museum we can visit to. There's Victoria and Albert Museum for some ancient art installation; Tate Modern for modern art; Tate Britain for the immaculate Brit's art and Design Museum for anything from fashion to architectural design. Most are free entry, what more better than that.

Adding to the list is Science Musuem at South Kensington that currently holding the exhibition of Japanese car design. I love cars, and I like Japanese design. Theirs might sometimes look quirky but Japanese designs always be up there and cutting edge. The cars on show is a mix of futuristic as well as plain looking. Expect lots of white to be on show. Clean, simple, pure and chic. Very Apple iPod too.

There's Toyota i-Real for one-man maneuver. It's a cross between a cosy armchair and a moped. Then there's Toyota iQ - probably stands for uniQue (dunno what's unique in their specs anyway). The Nissan PIVO2 look like a freaky alien. And the cube-shaped Nissan Cube that I previously saw at British Motor Show last year and on the street at Embankment previous weeks. As quirky as the car designs, the promo poster also look kinda awkward. Bit like a sperm. LOL!

The exhibition ends mid-April. I think I'm gonna pay a visit this weekend.
