This month, after six years of delays, the panda-cuddly car comes to America

Nice article, if a little conflicted. And Daimler-Chrysler? Could use some fact checking on that one. However, the fortwo I saw in Dallas did have a Daimler-Chrysler label in the door jamb; hope that's been corrected on the actual production cars (although if the early cars have the D-C label that may make them more "collectible." Bottom line, if the Christian Scientists are happy, I'm happy (as long as I don't get sick. )

If something goes wrong with a smart, do Christian Scientist's use service people, or do they just pray over their car?
