Doesn't end how you probably thought...
If you were asking my opinion about buying this car and using it to travel on SoCal freeways, I'd be all negative. Yes, I understand the importance of fuel economy and holding down carbon dioxide emissions, but I'd start meandering on about how there are too many old folks converting oxygen to CO₂, to no good end except that most of us would feel guilty about off'ing them just to save the Earth. But isn't the earth worth it?
Oh yeah, I know how these discussions about putting "useless" humans on ice floes always degenerate into not very helpful name-calling, but me personally, I'd rather waste good oxygen on such discussions rather than own/ride in one of these little portable coffins. One good whack from a semi and they can just bury you in your ride.

C'mon Bert, -it's easy clean-up!
Where do you fit your golf clubs?
No golfer would be that stupid.
It looks like it already hit something.
It's called the Smart car for a reason, presumably because it's so dumb they had to name it "Smart" to trick dummies who'd buy it.
Dood! I want one! Seriously, I want one of those -- I didn't know they'd cleared the import laws yet. Way cool!
i like it too but i would not take it on an interstate. and i want to be creamated so if i crash, just light it with a match will you?
Smart cars have been in Canada for 3 years now - my friend has one. When you're inside, it actually doesn't feel any smaller than a normal car. The gas mileage is awesome and it's easy to park. A good car for city driving, but yeah, I'd be a bit nervous on the highways.
