“Like owning an Apple i-Mac, i-Pod or i-Phone, Smart documents the open-minded attitude of the ‘thought leaders,’ who choose innovative solutions as an existential part of their everyday lives,”

Dieter Zetsche was the genius behind the merger of Chrysler and Daimler...

And we all know how well that worked out.

These Smart Cars?

Ehh... Just a toy.

I can’t find the mileage these things get. I also think I should be allowed to drive it directly into Target and use it as my cart.

fuel-saving, two-seat Smart Fortwo

Possibly a commuter vehicle, but useless for anybody with kids. IIRC, its mileage is about comparable to regular-sized diesel-powered vehicles.

It’s a German company, somethings just don’t translate well.

Did not mention how many were sold through Europe and the safety history.

Useless for big/tall people and is also a death trap.
