Synopsis

In the not so distant future, to cope with the traffic jams and verticalization due to the increased population, the city of Tokyo was reconstructed under the theme of city sharing in which people share the urbane space by transforming the roads and city structure by time of the day. A woman named Nico is walking in the city. She is having her long-awaited day off; however, she does not know what to do and who to hang out with. She hopes an exciting thing suddenly happens.

Then, a truck passes right before her eyes. The loud music and flashy decoration of the vehicle reminds Nico the car it that everyone's talking about on the internet. As soon as Nico sees it, she runs after it, then runs into Gatsu and Makito. Nico gets in their latest A-Class and they chase after the truck driving through the city that is changing its form rapidly.

Story
A bit confusing. At first glance there is a mention of an event that took form. Whether it was true or not is debatable. Then shortly after a chase for a legend begins. The problem was that slight mention in the beginning was not relevant at all to the story. Since the beginning event was so brief the viewers are forced to rewind and play back to see if that was the subject from earlier. While that is good way to cause revisits in views in truth it is aggravating plot wise. Plot, is suppose to lead to a gradual lead in ...

Well... if the story would've had a little bit more direction Mercedes could've made Next A-Class look less like a capitalist marketing scheme.

I wasn't expecting a transcendent message or anything, but even with 6 minutes there could've been some kind of takeaway... instead Mercedes just shows us a futuristic car that doesn't even exist (at least not with those specs). It was clear ...
