I think that is supposed to be a 4 passenger, which wouldn't leave any cargo space.

Im not to big on the smart car you cant lay a 1000ft of rubber at 125 miles an hour and take off sideways for a half a mile then grab traction and listen to the shift kit hit at 8000 rpm and drop a rearend from to much torque. Buy american muscle there more fun to drive.. how many smart cars you know of that can cruise at 140mph on an engine alone?

I think you MAY have missed the Smart Car's intentions.

the only thing about those cars is there is no protection from accidents at least in a charger your protected somewhat from hits and there is no room to put stuff in those cars anything that weighs 800pounds will be fast but there will be nothing that can compare to a american muscle car...
