It's only smart if you're a lib-voting, tree-hugging, weinie-assed, left over hippie. Sorry Dan, nothing personal against your dad.

Default You guys are not looking close enough

If you look carefully with an UNBIASED eye...The lines are almost a direct copy of the C4.

I see everyone really digs the car I drove it and you didn't feel boxed in, even though you are
This car is comming your way soon. Mercedes Benz builds them, they are powered by a 3 cyl turbo diesel that is very tiny. My dad gets a laugh by speeding past other cars on the hwy, they look over and see some white haired old fart. The car uses NASCAR technology for the cage so it is a stout little bugger.

I don't mind if everyone on the road has one, as long as they're never considered "cool"... although the Scion somehow managed that, and it sucks at everything except stacking.

The new Beetle, Honda Element and Scion's stupid box thing aren't hideous enough, now we have this. Like I needed another reason to hate German cars.....

Whew, thought you did all that work for nothing! Hey, at least his temporary winter garage won't cost much. Here in the US you can buy a small 6' x 10' tarp at the Dollar store.

Wouldn't trade the vette for one. But I like it. Seen a couple of them around town. Can't miss it going down the road.

I'm still trying to figure out how you'd fit a small block in there.
