considering how hard he was pushing it - it seemed to shift rather quickly and no indication in the video of the "nose dive"

The tan vinyl on the euro models looks so 70's - reminds me of my Sonnett.

Agree on the tan color - looked really out of place. Liked the exhaust sound, though. Pretty nice for a 3 cyl engine.

Good find. I agree that the shifting doesn't look that bad, and I also like the exhaust sound.

Thanks for posting that.

Can anyone confirm that their car is actually THIS much fun?

Cheers!

It takes some getting used to but you sure can scoot around town. I have two major complaints about my smart. 1. I have to leave early to add time for people asking questions. 2. This thing is a ticket waiting to happen. Speed is deceiving.watch your speedometer.

Hmm... that appears to be a limited one edition... nice!

I love the sound of this thing at midrange, and when it is being worked out.
