Renault Wind = Smart Roadster?

Could the Renault Wind be the basis for a new roadster? Give it a Smart smile to the grill?

Do they break easily? They are gas cars, after all.

I think Smart should change the external design and make the roof a manually removed part, it would - IMO - make it a really nice Roadster. Perhaps call it ForFun? Perhaps take a poll of what the roadster would be named if they make one(?).
