Its a concept version of the Smart ForFour(the same Smart that make that little 2 seater hatch), with translucent plastic body panels. It does look kind of cool, not sure about security (hmm, lets see how the door locks work!) but other than that, I like it (I can see how it would split opinion though, some people are going to hate it).

Mmm... fruity. It is good for a concept, which is never a compliment. Perhaps other designers will improve the styling. Somehow I doubt that showing mechanical parts under the translucent body is stylish for anyone. As for passenger safety, they should be as safe as Saturns (neither commending it or bashing it).

But seriously, :barf:

I do not hate it...I'd love to see it in person.

same but, i'd still never drive it.

Actually, to clear this up, its not a really a true concept car, more of a styling exercise, based on the ForFour which is for sale (in Europe, anyway)

I like the car, the colours, the inside but the transparent plastic isn't really doing it for me.

well.. you need Steve Jobs to market it.

If this was 1999 I'd be all over it.

Now it needs to be shiny white.

I wonder if they tried the Dalmation pattern or the Flower power pattern.

I wonder how you get the crumbs out of that.

Don't like the silver at all and the interior and shape need a bit of work but it does look pretty good. Better than a lot of cars at least.

not As previously stated it's a Smart ForFour, been on sale in Europe for about 6 months, Those plastic side pannels are designed to be easely replaceable. You can go to the dealership and swap them for ones of a different colour/pattern. There was a company who would pay you to fit sponsored panels on the smaller Smart's

Doe's it come in a Pro Aluminum finish?

beb · Mar 2, 2005, 09:36 AM

I like the roadster.

PB2K · Mar 2, 2005, 09:43 AM

The forfour is actually the first SMART that i like, it's bacause of the colors, very similar to an orca. Orca's are beautiful animals.

The smart for 2 is hideous. the roadster is nothing special but a toycar, though I do like what Brabus did to it, they welded 2 roadsterengines together to a V6

What's with the cup holders at the front of the hood?

angelmb · Mar 2, 2005, 03:26 PM

Cool, being a Smart you are going to be able to combine the colours and prove yourself as a good taste guy/girl

angelmb · Mar 2, 2005, 03:50 PM

BTW, it would be a great FantasticFour car
