(Most likely to not recover) You'd think that these cars would sell due to the prices of gas skyrocketing, but these type of cars will NOT sell well. Some opinions. Pros: - Saves a lot of Gas - Awesome weekend car for local driving Cons: - No room for family. - Unsafe. (I don't care if it has a high crash test rating. I'd rather drive a Prius than one of these.) I don't know what the execs of Daimler are thinking. They need to put money into a project that is more sensible. Now is not a time to be screwing around with Smart Cars.

You’d think that these cars would sell due to the prices of gas skyrocketing, but these type of cars will NOT sell well.

Some opinions.

Pros:

- Saves a lot of Gas
- Awesome weekend car for local driving

Cons:

- No room for family.
- Unsafe. (I don’t care if it has a high crash test rating. I’d rather drive a Prius than one of these.)

I don’t know what the execs of Daimler are thinking. They need to put money into a project that is more sensible. Now is not a time to be screwing around with Smart Cars.
