    I think Calgary is ok ..but hard to imagine a Smart car on 401, 404, 407 those busy highway ..

    I only saw few Smart cars on crowchild ... kind of cute/weird looking ...
    They're sold out mate, until mid next year.

    Are the smart cars here like the europe ones? Where you can buy different style body panels to change the appearance? Kinda like faceplate for cars.
    You can but not until summer next year, oh yea not to mention it costs like $1000 to get panels and have it installed!! People in Europe just swap with their friends and install it on their own.

    That's the only smart that won't be coming to Canada

    They actually crash test quite well (supposedly), they pretty much "bounce" off the thing they hit and the impact gets "transferred" around the car. And apparently they're still feel pretty solid on deerfoot. Yes you can buy interchangable color pannels to change the color.

    Feedback is that the owners of these cars pretty much have to lock the car and run away or they get bombarded with random people asking them questions.

    I love how everyone questions the smart's ability to survive a crash, just cuz they are small.

    We'll completely over look the fact that its the engineering that makes it crash safe and not the size of the car.
    I remember reading in Consumer Report that Echos have better crash rating than Neons and Cavaliers.

    those tailights on teh roadster are shaped just like s2000 tail lights.
    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”
    —Cicero, Roman statesman and lawyer

    Almost same thing, but the smart roadster is better!

    I thought the forfour was butt ugly, but when I sa wit in person I changed my mind, it looks nicer the the two tone colour ws similar as in light and dark grey or something
