Aw, that's no fun. What's the point of a Smart Car if it's not tiny?
I think the Smart SUV is still pretty tiny. More like a small hatchback that they call a SUV.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Smart Cars are so cute
They are! And they fit everywhere! And they get ~70 mpg. And they are not expensive. And the guy who started Swatch designed them. And you can get the panels in pretty much any pattern you want. I love them a lot.
I think that Mercedes has been planning to start selling Smart Cars in the U.S. in a couple of years or so
According to a Wired article last year, DOT safety compliance hadn't been met yet.
Any rhetoriticians around? What's the term for saying your opponent is guilty of whatever you are really guilty of? I call it "The Big Lie" but I'm not sure that's the real term. It's like if the USSR said "America doesn't allow religious worship," or the Republicans saying that the Democrats support Big Business.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
hybrid minis
I would totally buy this. Well, in the world where I could afford a car, I would totally buy this.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just want everyone else to drive them too, so I won't end up feeling like an egg with a target painted on it.

Smart does have the iMove, which has the 20Gig iPod fully integrated into the sound system.
