Real men drive Hello Kitty Smart Cars

I soooo want the same...
In fact it's a Mercedes Benz...
Made in France
(like the Bugatti Veyron)
In my home region of Lorraine...
(Veyron is made next door in Alsace)
And the next generation will be build by Renault for Mercedes Benz and is supposed to be plateform shared with Renault's new micro city car.

Of course you do...your lot invented quiche.

I have to say also tempted by the Smart. It's a cheap-to-buy automatic with plastic body panels, so that makes it a perfect car for both of us to drive. My only worry is maintenance, especially the complexity of its gearbox and other mechanical bits.

(for context: our current and only car is a gorgeous Italian one with a manual that my automatic-only-useless-at-parking wife is not even allowed to look at for too long. And soon she will have a EU license....)

Speaking of which... A small overview of the current all electric Renault lineup...



Renault DeZir (red*) and Twizy (ridiculous)

I really liked the hello kitty car. It was cute.

These cars all remind me of the vehicles Sam drove in Brazil...

It was a Messerschmitt:

I actually saw one of those things at a vintage car festival about a month ago. "Cute" doesn't quite do it justice. A very cool little car ... although it's more like a motorized tricycle with a shell. Fascinating.
