I thought the point of a smart car was fuel economy?

Common misconception.
It's designed for city dwellers (areas with limited parking). The point of it IS the small size so it takes up a the minimum amount of space. MPG is not the point of the car. From an "enviromental" impact, it good because its minimalist...or something |

But how many have a polished lip? Only people with taste buy those.......And there aren't many people with taste. People withOUT taste buy 100% black wheels, like the ones on this car.

So is a name like "Ultimate R"
Seems like the O-ring tires and sport suspension (not looking like a lot of room for travel there) would make for a pretty nasty ride on potholed urban streets.

Gay. They should be stabbed for calling something with a 9-second 0-60 time "Ultimate R".
