    I was driving next to one on Buford highway a couple of weeks ago. Haha, it was like driving next to a golf cart, except at 60mph.

    I drove one last year at a Smart event .. the thing looks cool. There is a lightly modded yellow with black blade cabrio (no, not the one in the OP) that's always parked at a corner on West Peachtree in midtown right before the long sweeping curve to Buford Hwy. At first, I thought I was looking at a Tata Nano AMG.

    Wait until the Smart Brabus gets here.. y'all will be running for cover!

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    I've seen 3 i the past week. I saw a yellow convertible, like the one you posted, yesterday. They're so damn tiny, it doesn't look right.

    There are a couple wandering around Smyrna/Vinings. I wish we could get some Japanese K-Cars over here rather than the Smart. Like the Mazda Autozam AZ-1 or the Suzuki Cappuccino. I personally want a Suzuki Lapin as a DD. lol
    Cappuccino:


    AZ-1:


    Lapin:


    Keep in mind these cars are all the same size or smaller than the Smart and get better gas mileage.

    these things have been around for years at least since around 99. and they are fun to drive you can park two of them in one parking spot. they are actually safe it is just one big roll cage with a motor on it. look on youtube there is a video of them running them into walls i would drive one. i have been passed by these things on the autobahn in Germany.

    I want one as well, they are actually really SAFE. They kind of bounce off of things they hit.

    You can't make a xB that small though - it seats four and is the size of a Miata:

    Lapin
    Length - 133.7 in
    Width - 58.1 in
    Height - 58.9 in
    Weight - ~1800lbs

    Miata
    Length - 156.3 in
    Width - 65.9 in
    Height - 48.6 in
    Weight - 2072lbs

    Plus it has a turbocharged 660cc inline-3 that makes 60hp. Badass as hell if you ask me.

    Kinda like Spec Miatas when they hit each other - they just "jump". lol

    TATA NANO FTW tho
    80MPG and it still sits 4 and tops out at 65mph (don't ask me how long it takes), and cost less than $3k fully loaded brand new. I am sold on it.
