    2015 was the year and "Vacation" was the movie.  That is when we all got to see the made for movie vehicle, the Tartan Prancer from Albania.  But today it seems that someone has actually created a vehicle which looks just like it.  So say hello to the all new Canoo EV.

    Canoo is the evolution of green startup EVelozcity.  But unlike most companies who evolve for the better, this one seems to have evolved into something from the movies.
    Their new name is Canoo and their new product follows the same name.  Kind of like a self titled album, the Canoo EV is the same as its name.  But unlike its name, the product is not an evolution of something we desire.  No, it is more like a borrowed product from a movie.  And this time no ones laughing.
​
    The Canoo EV resembles the "Vacation" movies Tartan Prancer, which was just a made for movie Toyota Previa.  But unlike the Previa it borrowed the Prancer was nothing to look at.  And that is where we can't understand why Canoo would make a vehicle similar to something odd from a movie.

   Space is the only thing that comes to mind as the Canoo does have lots of room inside for all of your needs.  But on the outside it's not much to look at.  It's kind of like looking at a computer mouse from the 90's on wheels.  This would be acceptable from Apple Corp., but not an automotive company

   So, really we have to ask why Canoo used the Pracer appeal to make their new product.  Guess we will never know, but it will make for some good YouTube re-enactments of the "Vacation" movie.
