Oh but they did (resize the car) isn't it 4ish inches longer than the EURO?

"The new Smart is larger than the original, but not by much. It's 7.6 inches longer than before and almost 2 inches wider, with a roughly 2-inch-longer wheelbase."

Gotta go, steak, eggs, bacon and biscuits getting cold!
2X is the largest size! Yeah, like 'I' could wear that!! Maybe 10 years ago!! We got the brown(?) & yellow jacket/warm-up at an event awhile back. It's a 2X. It would probably fit my wife, but certainly not even CLOSE to fitting me!!

The new car is the same size as the new Euro car. It's simply the previous model that was a little smaller.

The difference between the sizing of the car and the sizing of the gear--

I can fit in the car


Heck, even the smart forward-thinking logo hat I $bought$ the day I first drove out of the dealer in my new car is *kid-sized*... sooner or later it will be someone else's swag (or freebie)

So what YOU guys are saying is that "size DOES matter?" Boy, my wife is going to be sooooooooo disappointed.

I bought a Smart umbrella at the dealer but I think paid $35 for it; IIRC.

I bought the keyring at the dealer but I am not sure how much I paid for it.


With ordering online, one has to pay for shipping and handling. This should be included in the price when comparing it to buying it at a dealer. Shipping can varity in price depending on which service one uses and how quickly one wants to get it.
