the flying "car" in question. Just seems like a quadcopter to me, but I guess that's why I'm not in marketing.

Hexacopter, but yeah, basically a microlight helicopter.

Bestacopter?

Congratulations, you can't count to 6.

Is there something I'm missing? I only count 5 so it's a pentacopter.

There is another rotor hidden behind the cabin, you can barely see it though the window

Look through the cockpit

It comes with a car carrier.

Ya would think a flying car would at least have wheels. The marketing is doing the heavy lifting lol
