Get Smart

DaimlerChrysler's on-again, off-again plan to bring the tiny Smart FourTwo to America is on again. (Thanks to a Da Vinci Code promotional boost, perhaps?)

The Smart Car has been available in Canada for a few years now, and I've seen plenty of them in Toronto and Halifax. That's why I think this clever, attention-getting little car will be a smash hit in larger American cities, too. (Joe Sherlock disagrees.) That said, if I were in the market for something that small, I'd buy a Honda Fit or Kia Rio5 and spend the price difference on a big-screen TV.

Speaking of small cars, Karl Brauer of Edmunds.com responds to the heavily hyped new documentary Who Killed the Electric Car? here. (I thought we knew that already.)
