Information to take the precautions, was a teasing of the most unclear. The Swedish brand is best known for its furniture kit. A philosophy of design furniture in simple, accessible to everyone.

It would be "accessible to all and respectful of the environment." This would be "the easiest way to go to Ikea. Scalable to the environment, [it is] to both break and cabriolet. The environmental side is supported by a partnership with WWF France (which is not limited to Leko, Ed) Doubt occurs with other elements. First, the date of revelation, though close to the first April we could raise doubts if it did not sign the beginning of the week of sustainable development.

Forgot about that. Ok i guess having furniture manufacturers doing cars and car manufacturers doing furniture is not a big deal then.

laugh now.. but IKEA has a **** TON of money. and they pay near NOTHING in taxes. The family that owns IKEA is one of the richest in the world. If any company has the funds to start a car company.. it's them. And with money.. they can BUY their own expertise.

Sure, but the shipping will be 3 times more than the cost of the service tech.

Do you guys realize that lots of "bloggers" out there actually think this is the Ikea car?
They're saying "it looks like a 20 year-old volkswagen"

Ask my bed! It was less than 2 yrs. old and the rail cracked.

Fix it then. My bed is 5 years old and it's fine. Before you complain about lack of sex etc, don't go there....it gets major action every single day (4 kids to prove it). I'm actually surprised how well it has held up for such a cheap unit (Malm/particle board)

I'm surprised Ikea would have such an ambitious venture on the table right now. Hopefully they won't have to shelve it given current global economics.
