The Smart car has a 3 bolt pattern, wonder if it is the same bolt pattern?

I like that car alot and it comes with AC! It is a great car that will keep other manufacturers competitive in their pricing. Very important to have. I wonder how well that car would do on the freeway?

Definitely like it! The only problem that I could see with this car is that if more people bought it they would more quickly dispose of their own cars, creating more waste. At the same time used cars would decrease in price, so that's good!

Yep if I bought a new car that one looks good. Oh, I want to see the sport version

Just turn in your mancard and dignity right now.

Heard it has max speed of 65 mph and the indy version has a 0-60 mph at 17 seconds sooo very fast...

...a couple of guys I work with ( Who also have homes in india)say they are about 2500$ bucks to buy these cars and they are great little town cars, underpowered, cheap on fuel, and your out of the rain.

The number one selling vehical as far as they are concerned in india....is the hyundi scooters....getting 100 KM/L of fuel they claim...and not allowed in canada. I wonder why?...
