Autos – We say goodbye to the forfour hatchback and roadster models and welcome the all-new fortwo modelsââ;¬Â¦
Alright they finally did it, a coffin on wheels. This thing looks very safe. Sorry I will stick with my SUV. Suburban.... full size.....
This is good for the little people, but when the elite gives up there SUV's, jets, limo's, and their 20 room homes ( 2 people living in it of course). Then maybe I will look at something different.
It's a pedal car, no, it's a pram (baby- buggy), no, it's a super grocery cart. What happened to the briliant tutonic engineers and designers of automobiles of the 30's, 40's and 50's?
Couple things wrong with this picture. The average height of Americans have been increasing over the years, Were's the leg room? I'm 6'3" and I doubt that there will be room for luggage or groceries after I put the seat back.
Go to the nearest restaurant and check out all the overwieght people. This THING will need side extenders so they can close the doors and a hemi to get it moving.
Finally, I'd hate to get rearended in one, your head will be hitting the front end of the car that hit you. nevermind read rest standards.
On the other hand it the US can produce this economically we may be able to make some money on it by SENDING IT TO CHINA!!! They should love it.
WE were in Italy last summer for vacation. Saw these everywhere.
Once the americans start to pay $5 or more per gallon like they do in europe this car will take off big. Even today most look on those with the big SUV's getting 10-15 mpg to drive a single person around the city as crazy.
Look at the average size of cars on the road today and compare them with 40 years ago. Much smaller, much more fuel efficient, and much safer.
If this car has the same 3 levels of air bags I currently have in my mercedes SLK then it will not be that much of a safety issue for the passengers. I do bet like many of the sub compacts today the inside room is not fully understood until you get inside. Looks can fool and often do today.
