Saw about 30 of these on an auto transport truck not long ago. Normally you'd see about 8 cars. Don't think I'll be buying one. 15 mph gust would put you in the ditch.

I'd buy one! They're great on gas - not the best - the engineers wanted this car to have some pep, and supposedly they're fun to drive.

The only drawback it the rear wheel drive does not handle well on snowy roads.

It looks like one I saw that was FWD. The milage wasn't good enough and the price to high to make it worth the drawbacks.

Interesting, but I wouldn't buy one.

Depending on mileage I'd really consider one.

I just got rid of my car because I don't use it enough here, and street parking in DC is a bitch. (and a parking spot in our building is valued at $50,000... IF one comes up for sale).

Can you imagine the small spots you can park in with that sucker?

Cops don't have to have it towed, just call a couple of big cops over to move it.....

This is no joke. I JUST two days ago banned a man from our establishment when he got into a fight with another man (who was also banned) over what apparently was him being called a '****' over his smart car out front.

He said it gets 45 miles to the gallon and if you yell "Yabbaaa Dabbaaa Doooooooo" you can get it up to 27 miles per hour

I have been passed on the German Autobahn by those things going over 100 mph. There is a whole cult that hot rods those things, but they are like driving in a telephone booth. The company is a Mercedes startup BTW, if you are worried about quality.

^ I saw a special a number of months ago on the Smart Cars and was amazed at how well they performed in crash tests - better than nearly any sedan, luxury or otherwise.

Mercedes-Benz makes one too, if you can imagine. I can't.

RE #5 & #6:

That's not a Tata Nano.

The Tata Nano's are 4-door, much more "blocky"/less aerodynamic, have much smaller wheel wells, totally different lines, have different headlight & turn signal arrangements and the forward cooling/air intake grills are below the bumper, not above.

This is a Tata Nano:

This is another Tata Nano:

I think that's either a Honda or a Toyota Smart-car, I've seen it before, I just can't remember the name of the vehicle right now.

Judging by that stack of pallets, she is squeezing a lot of crap into that thing.

If I were to get one......and believe me when I say the thought has never once crossed my mind.It'd have to have a HEMI in it.
