AutoDrifter:
I guess there are really a small small niche market for this car. This is
becoz few friends of mine seems to be very interested. Well, let me
describe a bit on them:
1. They are damn rich (really don't know how to spent the money)
2. They like gaya and new things, then will change their gaya faster than
normal people do. (imagine, change handphone for more than 3 units in a
month with all h/phone purchase cost around 3k)
3. Age wise, either they are so young (taiko's kid) or in the mid 40
(actually might started to felt less pressure in life)
So, they fit into this niche category and as a friend of them, I am really
looking forward to sit into thier smart soon. Tongue

I seriously don't see how anyone can consider buying this car. The
pricing is just so wrong and it shouts "Poser" if not "Loser".

It is very popular in cities like London because the pricing is right for
that size/purpose of car. On top of that, SMART is mostly used as company
cars. And the company's i'm talking about are the likes of home visit gym
instructors, minders and such.

If you get the chance to go to London, rent one from easyrentacar.co.uk.
I did for a weekend and it only cost me GBP3 a day. Only then you'll
understand the soul of this car and it just doesn't fit KL.

SmartFor4 not costs less than RM100k.

In any case, size does not determine the price of a car. Big lorries can
cost lot less than Smart, if you think along that line.

If I am not wrong, they are not using nazak's AP for Smart but someone
else.
