Don't know about rice cookers, but way back in the bad old days all my cars had a foam mini esky on the front bench seat for those long drives.

I'm digging the interior! I tried something similar years ago, a deep-fryer in the back seat - spring rolls, dims sims, you name it.

Just make sure you remove the kids before you hit a speed bump.

If it overcooks the rice will Audis in Japan become known as riceburners?

Food does not belong in a car unless its in total control by the owner of the car!

Another attempt at car makers adding more useless crap? People can now make rice while the car drives itself with cruise control and lane depart assist yeehaw.

Points for not being another thing thats a "saftey" device!!

Fantastic Wasabi coloured seats! No really,I like that interior combo.

Driver, to the Pachinko parlour, yum num num num!

No regulations prohibiting enjoying rockets on the street and 2L tinnies of beer in vending machines. The inland sea in a small boat was breathtaking. I love that place.

Nah haha. However, a rice cooker has to be the most random thing to fit to a car. But i can see the appeal but it need another provision for the pot that holds the curry, sweet n sour, garlic beef or whatever takes your fancy

Now thats luxury 5 star dining.

The smell though ? The smell of carrying pizza or kfc in a car lingers around bad enough, imagine cooking stuff in the car ..
