It's marketed as some revolutionary economy car when all it has is 2 seats, a tiny body, and shitty little 1 liter engine, but it does 36 combined mpg. That's only 1 more than my car which has 3 more seats and a trunk you can put shit in. I just think cars like that are really just setting the whole industry back, it's not cheap, it's not that green, it's not fast (despite what blah thinks) it's just some car, there's not one thing about it that hasn't been done before and done better by something else.

I actually was interested to see if you might be on to something, to give me an idea I looked up power/weight of each: Smart Fortwo 70hp/1600lbs BMW 318ti 138hp/2590 I'm no mathematician but what I see is that my car has twice the power but not twice the weight. So no, I think I'd probably edge out a win in that match up.
