Who makes these designs and Ok's them?


Wendy, I saw one of these the other day when I was at the store. It looks like a golf cart! Can you imagine having a semi truck behind you when you're in one of these? Or even beside you? There's no "crush" room at all if you were in a collision. You'd be killed or at least have your legs broken. Terrrrrrible!!!!

Yeah. The Smart car is NOT for American roads, but I have seen a few. But, like the Mini, I think they're cute. :) Just couldn't fit in one, lol.

oh i think Smart Cars are cute! Totally impractical, but adorable! The first time i was in Europe, before they were out here, I giggled at them all on the roads. I think somewhere there are pics of us with random peoples cars because they are so darn cute.

The Smart Car totally makes me giggle.

I think it's when the design goes to one extreme or another- too boxy or too round. I know these cars aren't super ugly but this is the roundness I speak of that especially when they were everywhere I hated it.

Don says the overly rounded cars look like UFO's.
