Just saw it on a UK TV show ("McDonald & Dodds" on amazon prime via Britbox).



I can't remember seeing one like that over here in the U.S., but I'm not sure.

This is a Smart Car (a collaboration between Mercedes Benz and some Chinese company). It was sold in the US from 2008 to 2019. It is still sold in other countries.

I never heard about any collaboration. It was always Mercedes.

In fact in 2007, Chinese manufacturer Shuanghuan Auto released the Shuanghuan Noble (also known as the Martin Motors Bubble), designed similarly to the Fortwo and prompting Daimler AG to sue Shuanghuan for copyright infringement.

Out of curiosity, I looked them up on Carvana (was curious about prices). The biggest issue I had is that on the search page, they'd list "free shipping" or "shipping $190" ... then I'd click on the particular car and it would suddenly change to $1,490 shipping. Seriously?

Not really in the market for a new car, but that one looks like it would be fun to drive. I think I still want a Mini Cooper with the Union Jack, though (not sure if they even sell those in the U.S.!).

I was watching the movie Croupier -Clive Owen played a casino dealer and the other dealers gave him ride,they have small cars.
It seems in older cities with congested narrow streets,you see many small cars.

Nicolas Hayek

Nicolas Hayek, the Swiss-Lebanese engineer and industrialist who brought the world the Smart car, has died at the age of 82. Hayek saved the Swiss watch industry from lower-priced Asian competition in the early 1980s by offering colorful, inexpensive timepieces that he backed with equally colorful marketing.
