“Nothing is impossible” says a cool video. And we can add that with a vehicle manufacturer Carbonyte everything can be transformed into stretched limousines. I am ready to bet, you have never seen the Smart ForTwo that nice.
So, the car is stretched over twice its normal length and now its main function is to promote soft drink makers. This car designers are almost sure that it will be the greatest promotional vehicle possible. What is more, reaction of other drivers and people around is incredible, this car makes them turn their heads.
Well, my daughter turns 17 next year, and she has decided on a Smart For Two. It will arrive in Jan. ’09, and is black/black, but the side stripe can be changed to silver for a small fee. The Mercedes dealership has an open rollcaged display version for viewing, so we can see what is under the skin. It is much the same design as a race car’s roll cage with airbags. Of course, she needs to start Driver School sometime soon, and is both excited and scared to drive. Anyway, after driving the Smart car, my impression is that it is a very safe first car for non-highway driving in the suburbs. As someone who likes to drive fast, I found the paddle shifters as useless as the shifter, and would suggest just leaving it in the automatic mode.
