kjb434 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Good point. It looks neat and may be fun to drive, but would fear for my life. Even if I was just on city streets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidtownCoog Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Not that much smaller than the Smart cars you see in the UK. Check them out: http://www.thesmart.co.uk/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowbrow Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I want one of those flatbed smart cars. You could fit about 3 ice coolers on it. Then I would park it in the back of my dually and use it as an escape pod. (the inside of those things is designed by swatch... how cool is that!)

Trophy Property Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 The car was designed to help traffic congestion in London. You think we have problems? All their streets in central London were built before the car ever came about. Now its nearly impossible to fita full-sized vehicle travelling in either direction down most of those streets. This is pretty much the same throughout most of Europe too. The smart car helps in the sense that you can more easily navigate through the city, and you can more easily park. Its smaller and more fuel efficient also. I think these reasons are why its considered "smart"<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I wonder if those cars would catch on in the US. I never thought I would see the Mini Cooper being such a huge success over here. Now I own one (my Wife to be drives it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Neat little car. Though not much use on Houston city streets. The way most Houstonians drive that thing woudl get wreck fast. And I would never take it on the freeways. The other problem that I see is that most Houstonians would not even fit in it. If youa re one to believe the media. It is just to narrow. Still cute little thing it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
