    Ei guys I know you've seen the smart fortwo, or the car that is said to be the best & most practical minicar around. It has been featured in the movies THE DA VINCI CODE (starring Tom Hanks) and A GOOD YEAR (starring Russell Crowe). I believe we need the smart fortwo here in the Philippines considering the congestion of our streets, particularly in Metro Manila, and the eternal rise of petroleum fuels. Just check out the smart car's website for more on this intriguing minicar.

    Watcha think guys?

    The Smart Fortwo may be economical as far as fuel consumption is concerned, but the level of engineering to make that tiny body structurally safe is immense. That consequently makes it more expensive than what most Filipinos are comfortable with. And the fact that you have to pay the price of the car in taxes when importing it here doesn't help, either. That's one pricey four-wheeled novelty.

    Plus it has an extremely limited cargo carrying capacity. Is it cute? Definitely. But is it practical? Hardly. A bicycle makes more sense.

    kagabi, parang may nakita ako na Smart ForTwo along Julia Vargas, papunta sya ng Megamall (or EDSA). Parang ganitong color yun.



    meron na ba dealer dito sa Pilipinas nito?

    The smart fortwo is one of the most pointless cars ever made, I'd rather get a motorcycle, or a tricycle.

    only if every other adult citizen pledges in blood, that he will buy one, then maybe, the car will come in.

    Here and even back in Europe, the Smart cars are just too expensive compared to alternatives.
