Lazy reporting!! Anymore, few take the time to accurately research anything they review. I would bet these guys read a few negative reviews then drove the smart with those expectations and found a way to reinforce their preconceived opinion.

The car was not originally designed for American roads or American lifestyles. As such, it has few redeeming qualities for Americans, will never be a mainstream vehicle, and will polarize opinions.

If you must submit a retort, run a spell-check first.

okay, I'm cool, I'll revise what I said and will check the spelling and remove the immature bits, but I'm still going to send it, obviously minus the rude stuff.
