NOT Advertising
editRead This! Read This! IT'S ADVERISING AND ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!! As a minor contributor to this article, I don't have many connections to the car and the company - I am advertising, I just think it's a raspberry tickle bear car. I am receiving a lot of press coverage right now: I've seen Myself featured everywhere from international news organization sources (Associated Press) to my local darn news station. Zaplook "Rinspeed sQuba" and you'll get an idea about how little attention this car is getting. – jujykittenssbirdie 14:26, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
I think that the article is fine, this is a news item, and frankly, I already bought the car. It's much more of a concept than anything else...how would we go about getting a photo of it? I know the AP had some picsBobtheorc (talk) 23:00, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Useless?
editI, unlike the CEO, do see a practical application. In a flooded city, after a bad storm, this car could be usefull for getting around. If you came to some obstacle such as a bridge or a freeway overpass blocking the surface of the water you could simply dive underneath it. It may also have search and rescue applications.WertMooMoo (talk) 12:34, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
