It's interesting that a magazine that pans the smart fairly gushes over the Mitsu i, even though it is slower and has the same basic layout (albeit with more storage and AWD). Forfour anyone?
2009 Mitsubishi i AWD - Short Take Road Test
"Taking 14.2 seconds to hit 60 mph, the i is decidedly sluggish, but it proved no slower to come up to highway speed than your typical commuting drone afraid to use more than 30 percent of his or her throttle. L.A.’s thundering freeway herd adapts to these casual drivers, and it adapts to the i.
[So a smart is a deathtrap in a large city when it accelerates to 60 in 12.x seconds, but the freeway adapts to the i's 14.x time?]
The i’s usefulness makes the Smart Fortwo look even more stupendously dumb, mainly because the Mitsubishi has a back seat and genuine cargo capacity."
