It was black with a sunroof. It actually looked pretty cool. It's so small, one of our cars would look like an 74 ford LTD next to it. _________________ Life's a garden baby, dig it.

Saw a yellow one last week in Atlanta on I285 surrounded by semis...The driver must've been scared to death... _________________ HarryPR

I saw one last week just a few blocks from my house. It was surrounded by suburbans. It looked like you could easily fit it in a suburban!
I think the odds of surviving a crash down here in the land of SUV's is low... _________________ '73 2002, Fjord - "Deuce"

wife were in Italy, I was driving a Smart FourFour (for door version). We were in a horrible head-on crash with both vehicles traveling 50 MPH. The other party was killed by the impact, both my wife and I were OK (we mostly, but that is a longer story). The key piece is that both our doors opened and the passenger compartment was intact.
Check out UTUBE, there is a clip from Top Gear when they crashed a Smart FourTwo into a Jersey barrier at 50 MPH. Those little things are built well.

WE WENT TO THE MICROCAR NATIONALS LAST YEAR IN
MADISON , GEORGIA .
THERE WAS A CARAVAN OF A DOZEN SMART CARS THERE

THESE CARS AR SURPRISINGLY ROADWORTHY AS WELL AS CRASHWORTHY . MOST EVERYONE ELSE AT THE SHOW USED A
TRAILER TO GET OUR LITTLE CARS DOWN THERE .
THE SMART CAR STILL LOOKS BIG NEXT TO AN ISETTA .
HERE ARE SOME YOU-TUBES THAT MY DAUGHTER MADE THERE :
