Li'l Hitler was always a laugh-riot. His material would really kill.....



Chap... That's not really your kid, is it? I have seen him in dozens of 'shopped pics on the net.

Nah. Not my kid, but some guy is going to have a lot of explaining to his wife when she catches wind of his handy work.

Nope - Mercedes-Benz USA Corporate Axed the Smart coming to the US over a year ago. Something about a cost-cutting measure. I've personally driven both a Smart fortwo (car in the pictures above) as well as the Smart forfour. The forfour was a bit more conventional - front engined Mitsu powerplant. But in today's fuel-conscious world, a Smart fortwo would have been ideal. Could have sold a lot of them. (BTW: IIRC, they are NOT turbocharged cars - in Europe, they may have had a turbodiesel.)

Yet another example of MB-USA being a day late, and a dollar short. Remember the A-class based fuel cell car they were displaying YEARS before the Insight/Prius? Remember the SLA concept roadster - a mini version of the SLK that would have competed against the likes of the Miata and Z4 and S2000?

Yep: All good ideas - all met thrown out the door. So, what did they do instead? Remember the fugly C-class coupe? The hatchback CRX looking thing? Didn't last more than 3 years... And ya can't forget that wonderful new minivan, er, I mean Grand Sport Tourer, the R-class.

Bitter? No, I'm not bitter. Really.

Z, Any way we can import these puppys and profit from the spoils? We'll start a new Grey car phenomenon.

I drove the ForFour while in Italy, manumatic gearbox was annoying, engine was whiny, and the seats nearly killed me. Brakes were good, handled good enough.

Still having a car was awesome, drove all over the place. got bored, decided to drive to Lichtenstein, just to be able to say "Have you been to Lichtenstein? I've been to Lichtenstein."
