Another point I have to make is that these kinds of cars aren't very popular for the American market. We love our big cars and SUVs too much. Imagine a Dodge ramming this thing at 65?

Thats just my point, think of this thing rear-ending me in my Blazer. look at that short front end. it'll be in your lap really quick.

The thing is the company who makes this car 'Tata' is planning on marketing it here from what I heard on the radio.

You can buy SMART cars here, too, but how many do you see outside maybe L.A. or New York?

I don't think they're doing much good where they're from, but could possible do well across Europe. And there's now way we'd ever get them here. It's ugly, but most cheap commuter cars are. They're just there to consume less fuel and get you to work and back.

Speaking of the Prius, check out IHateThePrius.com - Index page lulz.

Haha, did you know the Mini Cooper is my favorite car? I've wanted one since they've came out, and I almost traded in my truck (before I let my dad trade it in) for a blue one with white bonnet strips, convertible, with a six speed manual tranny.

I just read an article about this today. It was in Spanish, lol. It said that this car costs as much as it does to install a DVD player into your car.

This a bare to the bones car. I doubt that it would be safe outside of India (since the streets are more crowded over there) and in Europe (where more small cars are used). Small cars (really small cars like this one) just haven't really caught on in the US. SMART has been thinking of importing cars here but they've delayed it many time. I did see one though. It's pretty funny looking.

I saw one too! It was at the circus and a bunch of clowns were getting out of it.
