Driving home from the dealer, several cars got a little too close for comfort before their drivers realized they had inadvertently drifted towards the smart as they eyed the car.

That's odd.. Seems that people miss the point, its not just 'marketing' it really is a class of its own when it comes to parking options, plus I have a feeling the Smart is actually safer then that Aveo ;)
