I parked next to a black Yaris hatchback today

anyway, i was thinking how the smart would compare in size. also, just yesterday i was behind an old Geo Metro...OLD Geo Metro with FIVE PEOPLE in it! WOW!!! it's butt was dragging.....anyway, just wondered how the smart would line up next to one of them too.

yea, i think about it all the time.....BUT now the wife has had her fill of it

My mother in law drives a 1992 Geo Metro. I stopped by her house on the way back from picking up the car... naturally, I forgot my digital camera. She took pictures with a point and shoot disposable, and probably won't get that developed for another month. But we lined up the cars and she was laughing as she noticed her car was a good three feet longer than mine.

Of course, it has a back seat. The Metro, with all of 49 horsepower, somehow manages to haul 800+ lbs of passenger weight. Not fast, but it'll do it.

I like the looks of the Yaris hatchback in that blue with those wheels.

When I was poking around at first looking for a small runabout, I gave them a look, and that was the combination that I was interested in.
