Default Smart Roadster

Been meaning to post these up but didn't really have the time to.















I didn't notice this @ the Toronto autoshow when I went during the first week. This car looks pretty cool... dunno if people could live without the HP tho.

Actually I believe the roadster is a gas engine. 3cyl.

After driving the smart fortwo last week, I'd not even think about the roadster.

The Dodge Slingshot is essentially a copy of this as well.

^ is the slingshot a 3 as well?

both belong under the dailmer-chrysler umbrella, not surprised its a shared parts bin car.

I like that, the rims are sexy and the back of the car reminds me of an RX8 for some odd reason.

Was this at the Toronto Auto Show? I didn't see it either.

And how was driving the Smart ForTwo?

Smart Car "review" by Me

Sitting in the smart is an interesting feeling, you sit up high in the driver seat and it truly doesn

Although it was not a Roadster, I did see a Smart Car on the QEW heading into the city on Monday AM when I was flying home. I must admit, it wwas a real head turner to see it sitting in traffic with a tractor trailer truck behind it...

I rented a Chevy Aveo, it has to be a Suzuki, and although I did not pop the hood I suspect it was a 3-cyl engine. I was rather pleased, I had no problem clipping along at 130 to 140 kph.
