Welcome to the new era of "tiny cars". The two-seat cute looking tiny cars, such as, Smart ForTwo from Smart USA has mileage over 70 mpg. The newer models of its rival - Mini Cooper claims to reach that level soon. The stop-smart system used in the Smart ForTwo MHD has been said to reduce fuel-consumption by shutting off the engine, when the driver hits the brakes and the car is traveling below 5mph. The high mileage has captured many eyes of consumers who are eager to try out the tiny cars for their daily commutes.
Despite high mileages and cute looks, how safe is it driving a tiny car on the roads that are already filled with jumbo trucks and giant SUV's? What do you think the driving experience would be?

ReplyDeleteYour cartoon expressed exactly what my concerns are for small smart cars!
ReplyDeleteI actually asked the question, and hoped that law makers come up with some remedy for the situation depicted in your cartoon.
I was hoping the cartoon would light up people's imagination picturing a street filled only by smart cars. Wouldn't that be a much safer street with more fun? I have personally been looking forward to it in U.S., since I personally saw it in Japan a couple of years ago.
