The Tesla should match or exceed G performance if they ever get it into production.

In the North American market, the Smart is stupid. Its sole attraction is its short length which is helpful for parking in crowded European cities. Over here, you would be better off with a Honda Fit or Civic. If you are looking for something reasonably economical to flog, the Civic Si is an all round bargain.

BUT IT IS SO FASHIONABLE! I AM A SLAVE TO TRENDS AND THEREFORE MUST HAVE IT. IT MAKES THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE AND IT ONLY EMITS PUPPIES AND HAPPINESS! PLUS IT GOES WELL WITH MY 3 PRIUSES. i actually dont mind the Smart. I think its cute and quirky and should be here to show the USDM that econocars dont have to be cheap and nasty.

I think the ForTwo should be getting much higher fuel numbers for it's ridiculous size. Maybe if they spent more time on aero and less on ugly, they'd build a better, more useful car.

The Jeep was surprisingly pleasing to look at... the other cars... I don't think I can wasted $100 faster than in 12 minutes.

[heliochrome85]

but if they focused on economy, you know what they woul-d get? an insight. god help us the day mercedes starts cranking out cars like that. lets not forget how amazing the Smart Roadster was. id give, well, just about anything for one of those in brabus tune...

[Focusedintntions]

The smart isn't meant to be a great fuel efficient highway car....compare it to other civics and such aroudn the city and it kicks their asses...easy to find parking and easy to get around in tight city streets....

The Smart is a good vehicle and we should have had it here years ago along with many of the other great euro vehicles....not gay arse school busses called surbubans that are pointless to any human

hey hey hey, i believe my mom has a point to her escalade. its clearly, to get to the next womens luncheon faster. its big, so it must be faster. actually though, smarts are selling like hotcakes on sunday morning. the dealer ini town doesnt have any in stock. they come off the truck and the owners are waiting for them. its kinda cool to see them zipping around town. ive sat in one. lets just say, they are tight. around the waist.

[snwbrdr435]

The dealer that recently opened has been selling out as well i see them zipping around when im in boston but hardly anywhere else i wonder were they all go.

[Sentientbydesign]

Can I commission your mom to use her Escalade to bulldoze a few of those "smart" cars? I'll even pay for the ram bar!!!

[smockers83]

I call the Tonka Truck

[heliochrome85]

when we first got it, it was freakign awesome to pull up behind people and all they saw was the massive front emblem and grille. itwas like driving a tank. no one came near it.

i miss those days..

Telcoman:

I only want to flog the very first car, the Lamboghini. I felt some shock and electricity go through my spines as I salivated over the look and possible performance of that car.

Let me start first by dreaming about the car--maybe have a wet dream of the car, and hopefully, one day, I will get to drive the real thing.

I really, really enjoy driving cars. I really can't explain the feeling when I get behind the steering wheel.

[joe603]

^ dude! you really like cars

[Jacko3]

Joe:

Can you blame me for loving cars? When i was a kid, my dad used to take us on trips while he flogged his cars as well. Some might say it was a little irresponsible to flog cars with kids in them. In all, my dad has only had 1 accident in all his life. So, I grew up witnessing how cars should be flogged. I guess, I will need some serious deprogramming of my mind from flogging any car. A friend of mine has already banned me from ever driving his car--I was only trying to show him what the manufacturers had in mind when the car was being conceived.

I think your'e right on this point. Last year, the Smart was sold in Canada with a smaller, more efficient turbo-diesel engine. This year, maybe for more power or emission regulation in US it's now a standard (fuel?) engine.

Its a bit expensive, but base model is about half the price of a Prius (not that bad for "half a car" )

Jacko

I never had a wet dream over an automobile.

Is there something wrong with me?

Telcoman:

You are perfectly okay. I was okay too until that fatal day in 2003 when my eyes lay seige on a G-35 Coupe---it was love at first sight and my heart throb for the G-35 Coupe could not be explained. I always thought I would inevitably fall in love with the M3. I was so wrong. For the next 4 years, I would dream of no other car but the G-35 Coupe.

In 2007, I got me a brand new spanking G-35 Coupe. If I never drive a high performance car again in my life, I would have been thoroughly satisfied with my friendship and acquantance with the G-35 Coupe I currently own. A man can only have one love. Any other is merely a concubine.

No one blames you for loving cars. In fact, we all love cars, and that's why we are here. However, what make you think you know what Nissan had in mind? I have asked you this repeatedly, but do you personally know Skyline engineers?

The tesla car will bake our cars easily. It has it's max hp at 0 rpms. The major problem that they are facing is the transmission. They have a 1 and 2 speed transmission and it keeps trashing through them.

[TeflonG35]

The new smart car is just a more modern geo metro to me.

[gimmeabeer]

just when I thought Scion couldnt make an uglier car

[Jacko3]

Dear lad;

Maybe i do! Just maybe i do!
