its like a battle of urban midgeted to one way streets and a 300 yard ride to work versus a guy who is driven to drinking to death needing a bigger machine and feeling guilty over it.

the drama. I get it..oh so "sex and the city" climactically genius...coming from me and my hick background, I have no clue how I had the mind to catch on..but I did.

Now if I can turn a 1781cc subaru into a m1009 capability...

Arragonis: true. Currently fuel is too cheap in North America to spur sales of that car, which is in a lonely class of its own.

Ad's still funny though.

Rumour central still keeps popping up the "MB to kill Smart" thing every now and again.

I loved the coupe, have they killed that one ?

Scion is due to spit out their micro car the iQ sometime next year. I have seen and driven both and the iQ may just put the nail in the coffin for the smart car...
