Sorry - my inner smart a$$ got the better of me....

My thoughts exactly. Magnate as is captain of industry? Shipping tycoon? This writer prefers the traditional "magnet" versus "magnate" for the intended reference

The car is indeed a chick magnet and it is a good way for engaging inquisitors in conversation.

Just don't tell 'em you listen to AM radio though.

I had an entire girl scout troop fighting over who got to sit in the passenger seat when I was buying some cookies at the market. Does that help?

I don't know if I would classify all of them as "babes", but many of the females I've spoken to seem to have traveled the world a bit (or at least claim to have) and claims to have seen the smart running about Europe.

IMHO the fortwo will absolutely be a babe magnet. If you've got the rest of the package to be dateworthy, the Smart will be a great ice breaker.

My impression: Women think the car is cute, but what kind of weirdo would buy one?

rrrucke · 03-04-2008, 04:53 AM

smart owner = weirdo???

Don't get it?

In this last month of ownership, I have had all ages of men, women and children gawking, smiling, giving me the thumbs up and peace signs about the smartie.

I think it's weird other drivers don't have one!

BandSofC · 03-04-2008, 05:18 AM

Weirdo... maybe that's just me. But, hey, I'm taken anyway!

Just my 2 cents based on 1 month with a smart cabrio in Los Angeles.

I agree with you market research

Here in NJ supermarket cashiers don't like the smart but women with Good cars and style love it.
