  1. Our neighbor has a Smart Car - I can vouch for the smile factor. I've noticed thre car has gotten the neighbors talking about fuel economy and being better about conserving in other apects of our lives. Technology driving real change in society.

  4. I'd imagine people living in big cities and tight living spaces could greatly benefit from using the smart car. It would probably close to impossible to fit a huge family in there, but its definitely a money saver.

  5. The video was visually interesting but unfortunately i was disappointed by the lack of informative discussion presented in the short film. First, 34 miles city is a very hopeful number. Im not sure of many cars on the road which gain these numbers. The man said "not any more than average" although i am not sure what cars he has sitting in his neighbors driveway to call 34 miels city "average". Also, the car being able to efficiently park in a horizontal position on the city streets is very interesting. Although ideal in theory, I am only wondering what type of ticket he may get for this type of parking job. If i receive a ticket for the nose of my car facing the wrong way on a small town street, i can only imagine the field day a cop will have with the smart car. What else makes this car smart? The size is too small for a tall man to comfortably sit, let alone have a few passengers also sit comfortably, and it only gets the average gas millage of a 2008 Honda Civic, what makes this can smarter? I am still wishing for the lack of information to be presented to me.
