I hope for your sake you are not trying to abridge anybody's freedom of speech. In this country that's a felony and you could do time comrad.

Screw Costco. What the hell do you need a 55 gallon drum of ketchup for anyway?

Breathe, spdickey. Steady on. You can still haul plenty of things home from Costco by folding down the passenger seat, just not a living room set -- or the cashier.

What did your dealer decide to do with the 1173 orphan?

Vinnie, the dealer has friends who are looking for smarts, so it will go to one of them I'd imagine. He did say $100s are acceptable from new "friends" <jk>.

He wants one himself, but is waiting for the right orphan to come around.

Taking deep breaths myself, actualizing my driving the smart, saying the phrase "I am smart to buy this, I am smart to buy this," over and over.

Re the origin of the thread...

Post the good the bad and the ugly to your hearts content.... This is America and every one in entitled to an opinion and we are all entitled to agree or disagree...

I think that PAG hypes and spins just as much as Detroit's big three hype and spin.... "we" are the consumers against "they" the corporate giants

sooner or later some of you must decide who's side to be on...

I am not a PAG stock holder or any other car dealer / manufacturer... I am always on the consumer side...except when a consumer wants to fraud a dealer/manufacturer... in that case I am on the "company" side-- only because I know fraud always gets passed down to us in higher prices

Pag better hype and spin better. Their stock is in a free fall.

I read somewhere that Penske isn't going to get all that much from this deal. Doesn't sound very Penske if thats the case. I'm almost ready to buy some at 15 and change.

Sell them cheap, but sell a lot. There is not a lot of margin left in a $15,000 car for the dealer, Penske and everyone else between smartville and your showroom. But for the long haul, it may just work!
