Wired: "... the most honest car on the road."

I came across a test review by Wired Magazine that I hadn't yet seen mentioned.

Wired began the test by saying about the smart, "It's the most honest car on the road," and then gave the smart a marginally higher score than all other cars in their test... the Honda Civic Hybrid, the Honda Fit, the Scion xD, the Toyota Prius...

Someone in the media GETS it!

That article has the most beautiful picture of a smart that I have ever seen! Her eyes are twinkling!

Thank you.

That is the article that introduced me to the smart.
I read it while on a cruise ship, came home and put down my $99

Finally! I'm subscribing to Wired. If they approach everything an open-mindedly as this, I've got a new favourite magazine.

The car is honest, it's just the phony-balony reservation system that lacks integrity.
