But the International Trade Commission determined that nobody could mistake the noble for a Smart!

Apparently what they lack in SAFETY FEATURES they try to compensate for with a longer Warranty.

Sorry, the last time I checked.....a vehicles "Warranty" does NOT cover injuries due to an accident. 5/100 or not, I'll stick with my 2/24 and my Tridion Cell on my smart, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

One Question? How is this clasified.

Many cars have been brought over in samll numbers only to become limited to 25 or 35 mph because as safety goes they are no better than pimped out golf carts.

A dealer with a Hole to fill, In a state where smart has done nothing for smart buyers. No smart dealers within a days ride of most of the state. Market is wide open and undeducated right now.


Im just glad it's got a 4 wheel hub
