Monie932, I have no cash right now to buy car. Is the Smart Car easy to steal?
Tell us how can steal such a car. If the car is smart when I REALLY drunk and can it drive you to local bar? Does lots places to hide illegal substances and such? Trunk space to hide dead bodies? It is it Juicy Coiture?

smart car is a new concept car that is beeing sold around the world. It is made by Mercedes. It would be the first car in russia that would not entirely run on gas(i don't think there are any hybrids in russia yet but i don't know). So it is half electric/ half gas(hybrid). Saves lots on money.

Toyota has had a (hybrid) 1/2 gas 1/2 electric car on the market for 5 years now. It is an excellent car, it averages 40 mpg on the hwy & 58 mpg in the city because @ lower rpm's it runs entirely on its electric engine. It is an exceptional car in every way.

Hey! Don't slag our European cars! I'd take a Renault, Peugeut, Mercedes, BMW, Ferrarai, Bentley, etc over any jap care any day.

renault & peugout suck!
if i had spare 500K, i'd take bentley continental gt too lol
or ferrari modena.
but the only little problem is that i dont have 500K, so i have to choose something that has good quality for good price, and here you cant argue, japanese cars are the best quality Razz
Mercedes isnt even in top 20

Mercedes not in the top 20? By which survey? I'd take even the kompresser over any japanese car. Even Hyundai have reached japanese 'quality'. You are being biased Razz
Now Japanese girls... another story

rar and gibber, more russian propaganda. Jap cars are pox, and don't get me started on Russian autos.

Although the Lada is good for one thing, it's rear window is heated so it keeps your hands warm when you're pushing it in the winter

Anything built by those overpaid undereducated lazy whiny ass scratching finger sniffing North American Auto workers is carp.

I am looking to purchase a Toyota Highlinder Hybrid (with optional Gun Turret for California Driving) next year or Suburu Hybrid Convertible when they come out with it.

Most people buy sports cars or Hummers, because it is cheaper than penis enlargement surgery.(no Uday, I do not own or need either)

Mercedes sucks, because they merged with Chrysler(see comment above)

Volkswagon is good, but BMW is a just cheaper version of Volkswagon

Korea cars suck, because you have to pay a Pop Can deposit with you buy them.

When in Germany, I saw those smart cars. Neat idea, but in big country with lots of accidents like Russia, Not a damn chance. Only way I drive in Moscow is in a T-80 tank.

I don't think it's Japanese cars in particular that have the appeal as much as it is Toyota specifically.
