Mercedes-Benz Canada offered me an '08 fortwo to test for a day or two in & around Toronto.

I asked for more time to do a review worthy of EcoModder on my home turf, but they were reluctant since the majority of visits to this site are from the US, and their mandate is to work with Canadian media only. (Roughly 12% of our traffic is from north of the 49th. Seems like throwing the baby out with the bathwater, but there you go.)

I might still take them up on it, but I'm not as enthusiastic about a 2 day loan. It'd be hard to get a good sense of the car and generate some good information in that short a time.
