Articles on the Smart for Two?

I saw a Black and Sliver passion in Hedgesville WV, where i was at the Woods Resort on a retreat when this guy saw me looking at the car, and gave me this look of WTF, well after i said i have one of these in Blue and Sliver, the man told me that he saw an article in the Washington Post that in his words were very negatory on the Smart saying it lost it's momentum and that the interest was dying on the car. It must have been a naysayer who wrote it, but you know i can't find it on their web site. Anyone happen to come across that article and where can i find it? I am sure it was nasty, but then again the man who shared that with me has this silly looking Mercury Moutaineer and well he said i would have been better off getting a Ford Fiesta for a few dollars more.
Ok it is his opinion but it is mine that counts, and mine is right.

You should have told him he could have saved thousands if he bought a Ford Explorer instead - it's the pretty much the same car. I wouldn't sweat it.

Now that I mostly drive local (an 8 mile one way commute) I get a lot of the hamster run. People moving their hands rapidly in front of them when I pass. First few times I couldn't figure out what the heck they were doing then it hit me - they are imitating a hamster on a wheel. Weird thing is a lot of people here in town do it. For being in such a backwoods community most are very positive towards smarts. I think the town having 5 or 6 of them may have something to do with it. (population..... a couple hundred)
